Working Partnerships
Acorn provides itself in working with local agencies. We have strong links within the criminal justice system including Police, Probation and the Prison Service.
The innovative work we have provided to Prolific Offenders, has won National recognition and awards from cross party think tanks such as The Centre for Social Justice. Our work in providing joined-up treatment both in custody and out in the community has developed real treatment pathways and through-care for drug and alcohol misusing offenders.
We are particularly proud of our record of providing safe and secure accommodation to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. We achieve this through successful working partnerships with Registered Social Landlords and Housing Associations. Over the last 5 years approximately 80% of service users leaving residential treatment were provided with access to independent housing and all entered employment, training, or education.
