XVII COMMUNITY CUSTODY UNIT IN DUNDEE

 

There was submitted Report No DIJB70-2018 reporting that on 22nd October, 2018 the Planning Committee of Dundee City Council approved the application by the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) to build a Community Custody Unit for 16 females in Dundee, on the site of the former Our Ladys Primary School in Coldside. The intention was that the facility would open in 2020 and would build on the well-established approach to women delivered through the Justice centre based at Friarfield.

The rationale behind a small local Community Custody Unit embedded within a community, as opposed to a large institutional conventional prison, flowed from the 2011 Commission on Women Offenders (Angiolini Report) which emphasised that women in prison often had clusters of support and vulnerability issues, such as being victims of domestic abuse, childhood sexual abuse, mental health and substance misuse issues. Women in prison were assessed as being lower risk to others than males. Women in prison could also lose contact with their own children and their family networks when separated by geographical distance. The Community Custody Unit would prioritise admission to women from the Tayside and North Fife area, as well as prioritising admission to women who were assessed to be heading toward a transition phase, most commonly toward the end of a sentence. Women in the Community Custody Unit should be able to maintain stronger links to family supports and stronger links to community support, including increasing contact with community services, as and when they met the criteria for community access.

Initial discussion had begun about how the health and social care services should be delivered to support the women in the Community Custody Unit. There would require to be some in-unit provision, as not all women would qualify for community access, yet alongside this the ethos of the Community Custody Unit would be to encourage links to local services, as women prepared to re-enter the community. The negotiations around support provision also needed to factor-in that not all the women would be normally resident in Dundee and also look at social work provision.

The Integration Joint Board agreed to note the contents of the document and that a further report to Integration Joint Board would be submitted when these discussions, involving Prison Healthcare (hosted by NHS Perth) and Dundee Health and Social Care partnership, were further advanced.

 

XVIII DEVELOPMENT OF TAYSIDE PUBLIC HEALTH STRATEGY

 

There was submitted Report No DIJB71-2018 by the Chief Officer reporting that the NHS Tayside Directorate of Public Health was in the process of developing a Tayside Public Health Strategy. The strategy would set out the vision and key priority areas for action to protect and improve health across Tayside and would be centred on values of equity, empowerment and inclusivity and based on the principle of partnership and co-production.

The Integration Joint Board agreed:-

(i) to note the content of the report and welcomed the contribution of partner organisations and associated networks in the development of the Tayside Public Health Strategy; and

 

(ii) to note the invitation to the ongoing involvement of partner organisations with the strategy, including commenting on the final draft, participation in development and implementation of an action plan and assistance in evaluation of impact of the strategy.
