Release of criminal justice component of the OHID treatment and recovery unmet need toolkit
We are pleased to announce the criminal justice component of the OHID treatment and recovery unmet need toolkit has now been released.
It presents a range of data from criminal justice teams, prisons and community treatment providers that can help users with an understanding of how the pathways into treatment from the criminal justice system are currently working and where there might be room for improvement.
Guidance documents have also been incorporated into the report that offer advice, evidence and examples of good practice.
This new component of the toolkit is aimed at all local stakeholders involved in the support of people with drug and alcohol problems who are in contact with the criminal justice system. This includes commissioning teams, those working in secure settings, treatment providers and criminal justice teams.

Release of new opiate and crack prevalence estimates and unmet need toolkit
The new unmet need toolkit provides local areas with the updated estimates of the prevalence of illicit opiate and/or crack cocaine use as well as the estimated number of people with alcohol dependency. NDTMS data is also included that reports the levels of unmet need for the different prevalence substance groups as well as by age, gender and for people that are currently or previously injecting.
This data enables an area to understand for which specific cohorts treatment access is currently working well and those where it isn’t. Referral source data has also been incorporated to identify the pathways that are currently in place, for which cohorts of service users and where there might be gaps in this provision.
Finally, a range of guidance documents have been incorporated that offer advice, evidence and examples of good practice in reducing unmet need and improving referral pathways and the general attractiveness of drug and alcohol treatment providers to those people that require it.
OHID will be running two walkthrough sessions for the prevalence and unmet need toolkit to provide a detailed overview of the data, purpose and functionality of the tool as well as providing an opportunity for people to raise any questions or suggestions they might have. The dates and invites are below. Please feel free to attend either and to pass this on to others who might be interested.

Updated Criminal Justice & Community Single Point of Contact (SPOC) directory now live
Background
The Criminal Justice & Community Single Point of Contact (SPOC) directory consists of contact details of Criminal Justice organisations and community drug and alcohol treatment providers throughout England and Wales. The main purpose of this directory is to promote successful communication and pathways between organisations for those individuals moving from Criminal Justice organisations to Community providers and vice versa as well as supporting effective continuity of care across the system.
The SPOC is a key tool in supporting the continuity of care (CoC) objective within the drug and alcohol treatment sector as detailed in the Government’s new UK 10 Year Drug Strategy [gov.uk]. We believe this directory will support and help develop enhanced criminal justice pathways into treatment and achieve improved health and crime reduction outcomes.Main changes
Alongside existing functionality, the SPOC directory now features Google Map style functionality that enables users to enter directions from one location to another and send the results (print, email or QR code scan) to the recipient. By the end of Q2, SPOC contact oweners will be able to amend their own contact details in real time, ensuring that the list remains as up to date as possible. The primary use of these functionality is for improving criminal justice to community pathways but it will be of equal benefit with community transfers too. We have also expanded the site to allow additional user groups to apply for access, principally criminal justice partners. From today, probation, prison and CJIT users can also register to access a limited suite of criminal justice related reports on top of SPOC access. Also from today, other criminal justice partners can apply to access just the SPOC directly from NDTMS.Net.
Invitation to join one of two webinars in August providing an overview of the updated CJ SPOC directory.
We are hosting two webinars w/c 21st August 2023 to take you through the new directory. The two webinars (Tuesday 22nd 2pm, Wednesday 23rd at 2pm will last around 1hr 15 mins and will contain the same content so you only need to attend one. We aim to provide an overview of the directory, the new directional functionality and how to get the most out of using the search facility as well as providing you an opportunity to ask any questions you have.
If you aren’t able to attend, there is a walkthrough video available on the SPOC page and we will be running two further walkthrough seminars towards the end of September – dates to be announced.
