Liaison and Diversion Service

Our team works with people from the age of 10 upwards who come in to contact with criminal justice agencies.

We operate in the Mansfield and Bridewell custody suites and the Mansfield, City Magistrates and Crown Courts. We offer assessment, liaison, diversion and, when required, short-term follow up.

We aim to identify a person’s vulnerabilities at the earliest point of the criminal justice system and share relevant information with the justice agencies. Where appropriate we will then refer them into relevant services, supporting them through the referral process. We also support, where required, those people with vulnerabilities through the criminal justice system.
