The Forensic Community Outreach service provides community-based assessment,
treatment and care for people, aged 18-65, who have severe mental
health problems and who may be a risk to themselves and others. They
may also be subject to Home Office restrictions, Probation Orders
or have judicial proceedings outstanding.
They provide care for people who live in the London Borough of Croydon.
A Forensic Community Team provides care for people with offending
histories who, with appropriate care and treatment, pose a low risk
to the public. The teams of health and social care professionals work
with the police, public protection unit and the local Multi-Agency
Public Protection Arrangement (MAPPA) team to manage people in the
community.
