Mission Statement (what we do now, for who, how we do it and what it achieves)
The London Pathways Partnership (LPP) is a partnership of 5 NHS Trusts, established in 2012 as a forerunner to forensic consortiums. We collaborate across agencies to optimise outcomes for complex service users in the criminal justice system. We have a reputation for being flexible, innovative and adaptable to improve impact. With pan-London coverage, we can offer a consistent and uniform regional service via a skilled and competent workforce, who specialise in risk and complexity. We have helped to establish the evidence base for working with high harm service users with complex psychological needs and strive for continual improvement by learning from evaluations of our services.
Values and Principles (what we stand for and the beliefs which drive our work)
- We are founded on the principle of partnership and are committed to providing inclusive and collaborative services to men, women and staff in the criminal justice system.
- We believe that our services are enhanced through active and meaningful involvement from service users.
- We are committed to a trauma informed approach to all levels of service delivery.
- We believe in providing cost effective and pragmatic services, while supporting innovation.
- We follow an evidence-informed approach to support desistance pathways and improvements in the psychological wellbeing of our service users.
Vision (where we’re going and what we ultimately want to achieve)
LPP aims to fulfil unmet psychological needs of complex high risk young adult/adult service users in the criminal justice system in London and the home counties. We offer an evidence-informed approach with an underlying theoretical framework integrating attachment, mentalization, desistance and trauma-informed approaches. We aim to be a leader in trauma-informed care for service participants in the criminal justice system. Our services continually evolve to incorporate the needs of those with protected characteristics and our culture promotes inclusivity and diversity. We prioritise service user involvement and co-production as essential to developing effective services and promoting desistance. We aim to provide a meaningful contribution to research in the field and are committed to improving understanding of what works for complex service users in the criminal justice system.
