national service here: http://www.national.slam.nhs.uk/services/adult-services/forensic/
Overview
The purpose of our service is to ensure that mentally disordered
offenders are assessed and treated effectively, in the least restrictive
environment. We aim to manage the risk, reduce further offending and
support recovery throughout the person's stay.
Our service is designed to support people on a pathway to recovery
through a series of carefully managed stages. Each of the ward areas are
associated with a specific stage, so that those people who have
responded well to treatment and are close to being discharged will be
cared for in a different area than those who are acutely unwell, and at
the beginning of their journey. Where our admissions and intensive care
ward offers enhanced physical and procedural security, our pre-discharge
unit offers a high level of independence with a lower level of security,
increased access to community programmes, and community outreach
services fostering the development of living skills, before moving to
independent settings in the community. We also offer time limited
inpatient stays and community assessments.
Our service complies with the national standards set out in the
Department of Health Best Practice Guidance: Specification for Adult
Medium Secure Services (July 2007).

residence is within the M25.
Our treatment programme includes group-work and one to one therapy
sessions. We help people to reduce their aggressive and anti-social
behaviour and to improve their relationships. We support people in their
development at work, and in education, and help them to live more
independently in their communities. We admit people for three to four
month assessments before treatment, which typically lasts between one
and two years.
