Our research<\/h2>\n
We conduct high quality mixed-methodology research across criminal justice and secure mental health settings, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n
Our current projects<\/a> concern the following areas:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Access to health and social care in the criminal justice system.<\/li>\n
- The nexus between the criminal justice and mental health systems.<\/li>\n
- The children and young people secure estate.<\/li>\n
- Avoidable harms.<\/li>\n
- Violence risk and mental health assessments.<\/li>\n
- Periods of transition e.g. through the prison gate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We have expertise in mixed methodology research including:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Advanced quantitative and qualitative research designs and analyses.<\/li>\n
- Randomised controlled trials.<\/li>\n
- Process evaluation and implementation, feasibility and fidelity assessments, with a particular focus on realist methodology.<\/li>\n
- National cross-sectional prevalence studies using violence risk and mental health assessments.<\/li>\n
- Longitudinal national cohort studies.<\/li>\n
- Advance mixed methodology.<\/li>\n
- Systematic and realist reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The study aims to explore how the WEMSS decommissioning is experienced and understood by key stakeholders: patients and their families, and service staff, and policy makers. This is a mixed-methods study consisting of two pieces of work. <\/p>\n

- A qualitative study of patient, family and professional experience of the decommissioning process<\/li>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title=”Cell-Soothe: The feasibility and acceptability of a digital app for women who self-harm in prison”]<\/p>\n
This project aims to co-develop, and plan an evaluation of, a gender-specific self-harm app for in-cell use in women\u2019s prisons. It involves four phases:<\/p>\n
\nPhase One: literature reviews and interviews with experts in UK digital prison policy to examine the evidence for digital self-harm interventions, including what does and does not work, and potential barriers and facilitators to development, deployment, and engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Phase Two: interviews with staff and women in prisons to discuss suitable and unsuitable app content and features, and site-specific operational and training requirements.<\/p>\n
Phase Three: workshops with stakeholders to review and test our understanding, and develop a programme theory and intervention manual.<\/p>\n
\nPhase Four: workshops with stakeholders to determine how to evaluate whether the app is effective in reducing self-harm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title=”Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Workforce Evaluation”]<\/p>\n
The research programme consists of three studies:<\/p>\n
Study 1: <\/i>Through audit questionnaires, we are mapping what workforce activities look like across different OPD services in prisons. Staff in selected \u2018case study sites\u2019 are being interviewed to hear first-hand about what helps or gets in the way of training, supervision, and reflective practice, and how staff think these activities influence the way they work.<\/p>\n
Study 2: <\/i>We are inviting OPD and non-OPD staff across prisons in England to complete a survey at three different time points. This will allow us to compare outcomes between OPD and non-OPD staff, as well as to understand what kind of factors or workforce activities are linked to staff outcomes.
Study 3: <\/i>We are following a group of newly recruited OPD prison officers over their first year in post, asking about their experiences at three points in time. This will help us understand how attitudes, wellbeing, and confidence develop as staff settle into OPD roles.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”An Evaluation of Secondary Mental Health Treatment Requirements” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n
A critical realist evaluation<\/span><\/p>\n
Mental health problems are common in people in contact with the criminal justice system who can find it difficult to access and engage with treatment. Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) can be added to community sentences in England and Wales as an alternative to short prison sentences. This study <\/span>aims to evaluate secondary MHTRs at three sites in England (\u2018proof of concept\u2019 sites), and one site in Wales, by:<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
1. Developing an MHTR programme theory of how MHTRs work (or do not) that would facilitate understanding of need, barriers to take-up and delivery, and solutions;<\/p>\n
2. Identifying a method for the large-scale evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of secondary MHTRs.<\/p>\n

A mixed-methods study consisting of three project phases: <\/p>\n
- \n
- Nominal group work with stakeholders and analysis of existing incident reports to develop consensus on a definition of avoidable harm in prison healthcare.<\/li>\n
- Case note review of 15,000 patient records from 18 UK prisons, collecting data on possible cases of avoidable harm, to enable estimation of the incidence of avoidable harm in prison healthcare and to quantify, describe and classify the nature and severity of harm.<\/li>\n
- Qualitative interviews with stakeholders to gather perspectives on the nature of avoidable harm, focusing on participants\u2019 experiences of harm in prison healthcare to identify any factors that could reduce the incidence of avoidable harm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Data from this study will be used to ascertain the scale and nature of avoidable harm in prison healthcare and identify contributing factors which may be addressed to improve patient safety.<\/p>\n

- Realist reviews of areas where there are gaps in research, practice and policy.<\/span><\/li>\n
- A series of nominal focus groups with policy, practitioner, third sector and service user informant to home in on \u2018what good looks like\u2019.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All data will be triangulated and will directly feed into a national strategy that will provide clear guidance to practitioners and managers to base the development of high quality sustainable and equitable services for older adults in the criminal justice system.<\/span><\/p>\n

- Service evaluation: analysis of routinely collected data and current access assessment documentation across established provider collaboratives.<\/li>\n
- Qualitative interview study of professionals and patients across the access assessment pathway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Data produced from this study will provide a comprehensive overview of current access assessment practices and an understanding of barriers and facilitators to effective delivery of access assessments.<\/p>\n

The aim of this research is to articulate the core programme theory of how liaison and diversion services for children and young people is assumed to work via a logic model and then test in a realist process evaluation to see if it works how it is proposed in all seven NHS England regions. <\/p>\n
In phase one we will undertake a rapid realist review to describe how liaison and diversion services for children and young people is assumed to work.<\/p>\n
In phase two we will undertake a mixed-methods realist process to understand:<\/p>\n
- \n
- What components of liaison and diversion services are being delivered.<\/li>\n
- Whether the components are working and for which children and young people are they working.<\/li>\n
- And for which children and young people they are working (or not) under which circumstances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool (CHAT)<\/h2>\n
The Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool (CHAT) is a health needs assessment developed by the HJRN.<\/p>\n
The CHAT has been implemented across the whole children and young people\u2019s secure estate. It is completed with all children and young people within the first 10 days of their admission.<\/p>\n
The impact of CHAT is that health needs are now consistently assessed, CHAT health information moves with the young people within the secure estate and when released.<\/p>\n
Young people are only reassessed when clinically required, rather than at every transition point.<\/p>\n
This has had direct benefits for the young people, healthcare staff and to the wider NHS.<\/p>\n
The CHAT is free to download and available from the University of Manchester Innovation Factory website.<\/p>\n
