ILLY to Implement LINKS CarePath across all Criminal Justice Services in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland

We’re always delighted to announce new partners, but we’re especially excited about a project we have recently started work on in the East Midlands.

Leicester City recently tendered all of their Community and Criminal Justice Services. We worked in partnership with the Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Trust as their preferred supplier of case management systems, and we’re happy to announce that the partnership won the Criminal Justice mandate! For us this means that we will have the opportunity to implement LINKS CarePath as a major part of the Criminal Justice drug treatment system and help to make a difference in the area.

We're delighted to have started work with LRPT and the Safer Leicester Partnership.

The tender represents a move toward a recovery orientated integrated criminal justice treatment system. The tender included DIP services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland including prison and police stations as well as county offices. We spoke with the lead commissioner from Safer Leicester regarding the tender; here is what she had to say:

‘Our recent tender covered the Criminal Justice Drug and Alcohol services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland County Councils and included HMP Leicester. Tendering all these services in one go will help provide a fully integrated criminal justice treatment pathway for problem drug and alcohol users. As part of the tender we needed to be sure that the chosen provider had a case management system which could support this integrated working and LINKS CarePath does just that.’

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved and we’re really looking forward to getting the project under way. The Clinical Treatment Team Manager at the CJDT had the following to say:

‘We needed a system that provided a purely integrated solution for our DIP, Treatment and Prison services. LINKS CarePath provided all the functionality to do this, and more! We’re now looking forward to getting the system implemented and ready for the new Criminal Justice services to go live on 1st July.’
