Forensic & Complex Behavioural Needs

Understanding Behaviour, Creating Positive Futures

Specialist, person-centred support for individuals with forensic histories and complex behavioural needs. Through positive behavioural approaches, risk-aware support and strong therapeutic relationships, we help people build stability, develop independence and achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes.

Forensic and complex behavioural support is designed for individuals whose needs may be influenced by trauma, offending histories, mental health challenges or behaviours that can place themselves or others at risk. It combines specialist support, positive behavioural approaches and skilled risk management delivered by experienced teams. The focus is on promoting safety, reducing risk and helping individuals build more independent and fulfilling lives.
 

Celebrating 20 Years of Supporting People

Positive Behavioural Support That Changes Lives

At CJP Outreach Services, we understand that every person has unique strengths, aspirations and support needs. Our experienced teams work alongside individuals, families and professionals to deliver personalised support that enhances quality of life, promotes independence and achieves meaningful outcomes.

We provide specialist support for people with complex and diverse needs, ensuring support is tailored to the individual, not simply the diagnosis. Through compassionate, outcome-focused support, we empower people to lead fulfilling lives whilst remaining at the centre of every decision.

Understanding Behaviour, Supporting Change

Behaviour is a form of communication. At CJP Outreach Services, we recognise that individuals with forensic histories or complex behavioural needs may have experienced trauma, adversity, rejection or significant life challenges that influence how they interact with the world around them. Our approach focuses on understanding the person behind the behaviour rather than simply reacting to what we see.

 

We take time to build trusting relationships and gain a detailed understanding of each individual’s experiences, strengths, motivations and support needs. By developing this understanding, we can identify the factors that contribute to distress, frustration or behaviours of concern and implement strategies that promote positive outcomes.

Our support is rooted in positive behavioural approaches that encourage individuals to develop new skills, increase self-awareness and make meaningful progress towards their goals. We focus on recognising strengths and creating opportunities for success while maintaining a safe and supportive environment.

Through consistency, compassion and professional expertise, we help individuals build confidence, develop healthier coping strategies and move towards greater independence, stability and personal achievement.

Specialist Support Planning

Every individual we support has a unique history, set of experiences and pathway towards achieving their goals. Our specialist support plans are designed around the person, taking into account their needs, strengths, risks, aspirations and circumstances.

We work collaboratively with individuals, families, commissioners, clinical teams and other professionals to develop support plans that are personalised, realistic and outcome-focused. This ensures everyone involved has a clear understanding of how support will be delivered and what success looks like.

Our plans provide guidance on communication, behavioural support, risk management and skill development, ensuring a consistent approach across all areas of support. This consistency helps create stability, build trust and promote positive change over time.

Support plans are regularly reviewed to reflect progress, changing needs and new opportunities. By continually adapting our approach, we ensure support remains effective, responsive and focused on helping individuals achieve sustainable outcomes.

Expert Training That Delivers Better Outcomes

Supporting individuals with forensic histories and complex behavioural needs requires a highly skilled workforce. Our teams receive specialist training that equips them with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to provide safe, effective and person-centred support.

Training includes Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), helping staff understand the reasons behind behaviours and develop proactive strategies that promote positive outcomes. This approach focuses on improving quality of life, increasing independence and reducing the need for restrictive practices.

Our colleagues are also trained in Studio III and NAPPI, providing them with the skills to recognise early signs of distress, use effective de-escalation techniques and respond safely and compassionately during periods of heightened anxiety or crisis. These approaches support individuals to feel understood, respected and supported while maintaining their dignity and wellbeing.

Through ongoing learning, reflective practice and professional development, we maintain a highly skilled workforce committed to delivering exceptional support. By combining specialist behavioural training with compassion and understanding, we help individuals build confidence, develop positive coping strategies and achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes.

Promoting Safety, Stability & Independence

Creating safe and stable environments is fundamental to positive outcomes. We support individuals to develop the skills, confidence and resilience needed to manage challenges, make informed choices and increase their independence. Through structured support and positive behavioural approaches, we help people build more stable futures, strengthen community connections and achieve greater control over their lives.

Positive Risk Management


We believe positive risk management is about balancing safety with opportunity. Rather than focusing solely on restrictions, we work with individuals to identify achievable goals and support them to take appropriate risks that promote growth, learning and independence. Our approach is collaborative, proportionate and person-centred, helping individuals develop confidence while ensuring potential risks are carefully understood, managed and reviewed.

Working Together in Partnership

Effective support is built on strong relationships and open communication. We work closely with individuals, families, commissioners, healthcare professionals and wider support networks to ensure support remains coordinated, consistent and focused on achieving positive outcomes. Through collaboration and shared goals, we create supportive environments that encourage progress, promote accountability and help individuals move towards safer, more independent and fulfilling lives.
