Key findings this quarter

Three requests are being published this quarter: Brighton Women's Centre (BWC) (2nd analysis), Together Women (TW) and Offploy, along with a feasibility study on evaluating Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA).

Brighton Women's Centre (BWC) (2nd analysis)

Brighton Women's Centre provides support to women by delivering one-to-one case worker led sessions either at women-only hubs or the women's centre as well as at probation offices. The number of sessions held is dependent on the level of complexity of the support required and how many sessions the woman feels she needs. The support provided is holistic and considers the needs of each individual. The evaluation considers the reoffending behaviour of 114 women who began the programme between January 2020 and August 2022.

The overall results do not show that the programme had a statistically significant effect on a person's reoffending behaviour.

Together Women (TW)

Together Women is a charity which supports women and girls across the North of England. Women can access one-to-one support via a keyworker, personal development workshops and bespoke specialist services to address identified support needs across 8 pathways including accommodation, substance misuse, education and employment, and financial management. The evaluation considers the reoffending behaviour of 717 women who began the programme between June 2021 and August 2022.

The overall results show that women who took part in the programme were less likely to reoffend, reoffended less frequently and took longer to reoffend than those who did not take part. These results were statistically significant.

Offploy

Offploy work with participants to identify and complete goals, with each goal being defined by the candidate's needs. The support identifies training and job opportunities and can also involve referring the participant to housing providers or obtaining food bank vouchers. The evaluation considers the reoffending behaviour of 154 men who began the programme between 2019 and 2022.

The overall results show that men who took part in the programme reoffended less frequently. This result was statistically significant. The headline findings did not show a statistically significant effect on the reoffending rate or the average time to first proven reoffence.

Circles of Support of Accountability (CoSA)

CoSA provides a community-based approach to the support and management of people convicted of sexual offences, helping them take accountability for their actions and reduce the risk of reoffending. This study explores the feasibility of conducting a robust impact evaluation of CoSA in England and Wales, ensuring that resources are used effectively

The paper presents several recommendations to address the complexities involved in conducting such an evaluation. Findings from the feasibility study demonstrate that an impact evaluation of CoSA is feasible, and it is recommended that the evaluation should proceed.

Justice Data Lab service: available reoffending data

The Justice Data Lab team have brought in reoffending data for the third quarter of the calendar year 2022 into the service. It is now possible for an organisation to submit information on the individuals it was working with up to the end of August 2022, in addition to during the years 2002-2021.
