September ________________________________________________

Improving Health, Supporting Justice:
Meeting the challengeNacro's 8th Annual Mental Health and Crime Conference
3-4 September 2008, University of Derby

First announcement and call for workshop submissions

'Improving Health, Supporting Justice', strategy for offender health and social care, sets out a template to meet the mental health needs along the criminal justice pathway and includes both those offenders being resettled from prison, and those supervised in the community. The challenge for commissioners, planners and providers is how to develop a range of services to meet the diverse range of needs and ensure access to primary, secondary and tertiary care, as well as health promotion and prevention. For practitioners, services users, and carers, it is how to influence the challenge.

This conference, building on the successes of Nacro's seven previous conference on Mental Health and Crime, is an opportunity to contribute to, and influence, the debate.

Invited speakers include:

Rt Hon Ivan Lewis MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department of Health

Baroness Corston

Commander Rod Jarman, Association of Chief Police Officers

Eric Allison, Prison Correspondent, The Guardian

Paul Jenkins, Chief Executive, Rethink
