3 An Overview The Monthly Community Criminal Justice Report is intended to provide both CJITs and Police Force Areas an overview of monthly criminal justice activity / performance, based on data submitted to PHE. Accessing and distributing the report This report is primarily aimed at Criminal Justice Interventions Teams and Drug Action Teams commissioning their services. The report can be downloaded via NDTMS at alternatively DIRDET users can download it from a dedicated reporting section within DIRDET. For the first few months the report will also be ed so that feedback can be gained from the users. Structure of the report The report is divided into three pages, the Summary and Descriptives pages being dictated by which Service (this shows activity submitted by your CJIT) or Partnership (which shows activity for all clients who are resident in your DAT area, regardless of which CJIT submitted the data) is selected on the Summary page, the Detail page being an overview of all Services. The pages are as follows:- The first page ( Summary page ) shows the pertinent figures relating to caseload, assessments, referrals to structured treatment, closures and referrals from prisons successfully picked up. The second page ( Descriptives page ) shows a breakdown by gender, ethnicity, drug & alcohol use and offender management status of either the current caseload at the end of the period or those newly assessed in the period. The third page ( Detail page ) gives an overview of most of the items on the Summary page by all Services. These can be further filtered by offence type, drug use and referral source for a further interrogation of the data. Page 3 of 15

4 How to use the report Summary Page On the Summary page, the end-user can select whether to look at the data by a Service level (data submitted by the CJIT) or at a Partnership level (all clients who reside in your DAT area) using the Reporting Level drop-down list. Once the reporting level is selected, select a Service or Partnership using the adjacent drop-down. The corresponding Police Force Area will also change accordingly (as shown below). This will also be the Service/Partnership and Police Force Area by which the Descriptives page will be filtered by. The time scale of the report, referred to as the Period, can be toggled between Month (the month of activity being reported on i.e. November) or Quarter (rolling quarter, so three month period up to and including the current month of activity being reported on i.e. September, October and November). This is a report-wide toggle, so will affect the time period of the entire report. N.B. that this toggle will change the periods in the charts from a sequence of months to quarters for example, in a November Report if Period is set to Month the periods in the charts will read AUG,SEP,OCT,NOV. If the Period is set to Quarter the periods in the charts will read Q-3,Q-2,Q-1,Q (so current rolling quarter and preceding rolling quarters indicated by the minus sign). Collapses report Expands report The and buttons are used to collapse and expand respectively the tables and graphs within the report. The Save Summary sheet button on the right allows you to create a printable report of the Summary page once you have selected the Service or Partnership of your choice. Page 4 of 15

5 This section shows the number of clients who were on the caseload at any point in the period selected and of these those who are also in structured treatment. It also shows the average time in days those clients have been on the caseload for. Additional to this it gives a breakdown of assessments, closures and prison referral / pickups occurring in the month. Descriptives Page On the Descriptives page, the Caseload Level toggle switches between clients who are All on caseload and New to caseload (Please see the Technical Definitions section for a full explanation of these terms). Collapses report Expands report As on the Summary page, the and buttons are used to collapse and expand respectively the tables and graphs within the report. As on the Summary page, the Save Descriptives sheet button on the right allows you to create a printable report of the Descriptives page once you have selected the Service or Partnership of your choice. Detail Page The Detail page shows a table view of the majority of the data items on the Summary page but exclusively by CJIT Teams. On the Detail page, the Filter Section dictates how the information in the tables is filtered. There are drop-down lists for Client offence group, Client drug use and Client referral source which can all be changed. Note that the Period is dictated by the report-wide value on the Summary sheet. Page 5 of 15

6 The Detail table can also be filtered by Region and Police Force Area to see the information more clearly. Once the filter parameters have been set, figures will update when the Calculate! button is clicked. The Panic button on the left ( ) can be used to quickly remove all filters on the Detail page. Frequently Asked Questions 1. What clients are included in the measure Not taken onto caseload or closed prior to caseload in month? There are four possible situations that meet the criteria for this measure. Client assessed during the month but has no caseload start date or closure date. Client assessed during month and has caseload start date but this falls outside the month and closure date is missing. Client assessed during month and has no caseload start date but closure date is present but this falls outside the month. Client assessed during month and has caseload start date and closure date but these both fall outside the month. 2. We have a high proportion of clients referred to us from prison but we have a low rate of pickup by the CJIT. Is there any way we can access the details of the clients referred to us so we can crossreference them locally? Unfortunately at present we are not able to give the attributors of the clients referred to CJIT from prison. This is because if a prison provider has recorded a discharge reason as Transferred-Not in custody that means they have been in contact with the community provider, shared the treatment need and agreed the continuity of care. The community provider should not need to receive attributors from PHE directly as they will have received full names, etc., from the prison provider. We are working on expanding this item in future reports to include a breakdown by prison referred from. Hopefully this will help to highlight where there are any problems with a referral from a particular source. It should also be noted that a low proportion on this measure is not necessarily indicative of any problems in practice. If a referral from prison is deemed to be appropriate when initially assessed by the CJIT, they will not be triaged and subsequently will not be included in this figure. Page 6 of 15

Sub-modality This term refers to the type of non-structured treatment delivered by the CJIT itself.
