`A lifetime of crime committed by a single prolific offender can cost up to 1.5m`
(Sainbury Centre for Mental Health)

Prolific and priority offenders are thought to be responsible for one out of every ten offences and their end-to-end management continues to be challenging and costly for service providers and to society. As Integrated Offender Management (IOM) continues to build on the foundations of the PPO scheme we welcome practitioners from pioneer areas to examine the importance of improving partnership links and engagement with offenders.

With reduced funding for all parties likely to be of the main challenge in 2010, attend this conference to stay up to date with how organisations are working together to achieve more in a tougher environment.

Plus a half-day briefing on Resettlement Support for Prolific Offenders*
Date: Tuesday 30th March 2010
Location: Central London

Chaired by: Jackie Worrall, Director of Policy and Public Affairs, NACRO
Housing and accommodation is a key factor in the reduction of offending by PPOs. According to the Social Exclusion Unit, stable and secure accommodation can reduce the risk of re-offending by over 20%.

This briefing brings together Police, Probation Services and Housing Providers to showcase best practice in providing a clear accommodation pathway which remains crucial to successful resettlement.
