How our service can help you
The Forensic Intensive Psychological Treatment Service (FIPTS) was
developed in 2004 in partnership with the Ministry of Justice and
Department of Health to treat and manage high risk offenders with severe
personality disorder. In 2016 FIPTS community team became an Intensive
Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS) as part of the National
Offender Personality Disorder strategy jointly funded by NHS England and
NOMS (National Offender Management Service).
The FIPTS IIRMS Community Team is multi-disciplinary and adopts an
evidence based psycho-social approach to working with service users. As
well as helping our clients reduce or stop violent offending we also
strive to help improve the quality of their relationships and assist
them to achieve success in other important areas such as employment,
education and community living. Our main focus is to promote
independence and improve the quality of life of all our clients whilst
reducing their risk of recidivism.
Referrals are accepted from secure services and probation offices
within the appropriate catchment area.
