Throughcare is one of the 9 priority themes set out in the Community Justice Outcome Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 (CJOIP), where as a Partnership, we made a commitment to improving planning for people leaving custody, to support their return to the community from prison.

SCCJR – April 2013
The aim of the review was to examine the available evidence in order to identify what constitutes effective practice in through-care provision and to draw attention to any barriers that may exist in providing this service. The review is framed within an international context where research evidence reiterates the importance of addressing practical initiatives to support reintegration, while policy recommendations are frequently driven by a reducing reoffending narrative (e.g. Steen et al, 2012).
