In North Humberside, a diversion project has been developed by a multi-agency steering group chaired by the Director of North Humberside MIND. The steering group manages, via a small management sub-group, a project team, comprising a probation officer, an approved social worker and two community psychiatric nurses. They assess persons in police custody and prisoners at court. When mentally disordered offenders are identified they will arrange a package of care.
