Liaison and Diversion (L&D) is a process whereby people of all ages passing through the criminal justice system are assessed and those with mental health concerns, learning disabilities, substance misuse problems and other vulnerabilities are identified as soon as possible in the justice pathway.

• An exemplary and comprehensive screening and multi-disciplinary assessment service for all eligible identified individuals

• To operate within a robust clinical operating framework

• To provide high quality information to key decision makers in youth and criminal justice agencies, including the police, courts, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), probation and Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) and youth offending services.
