Overview

If someone is in prison, they are still entitled to care and support from the council. 

Referring someone can help someone stay independent, safe and healthy whilst in prison.  

We will support people who: 

  • develop needs whilst in prison 
  • received care and support in the community before entering prison 
  • already get care and support but may need more support 
  • are moving to another prison and need their care and support details shared with the next local authority 
  • are leaving prison and moving back into the community
