The ICPS is a team of psychological therapists, clinical practitioners and specialist probation practitioners providing both indirect and direct input to Probation Service London. ICPS practitioners provide consultation and training to probation staff working in Core Offender Management (CORE-OM). They also provide direct support within the Intensive Interventions Risk Management Service (IIRMS).
CORE-OM
Within the indirect service, ICPS practitioners offer individual and group consultations to all probation practitioners and support ongoing workforce development through regular training events. They further support psychologically informed risk management through joint casework with probation practitioners and people on probation.
IIRMS
Psychological therapists in the direct service develop comprehensive formulations and intervention plans in collaboration with people on probation. The team includes practitioners specialising in a range of areas linked to desistance such as housing and substance misuse who offer individual and group resettlement support tailored to the individuals psychological needs. This incorporates practical, emotional and social support as well as psycho-educational groups, such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills training.
Enhanced IIRMS
The enhanced provision offers a range of evidence-based interventions including Mentalization-Based Therapy to enhance psychological functioning and reduce risk of violence; trauma interventions, e.g. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming (EMDR); and offence-focused work (e.g. Challenge programme for sexual offending).
