Since 2006 NOMS has provided about £250,000 funding to 15 projects to help to identify, develop and spread best practice relating to the aims and objectives of the alcohol strategy, Working with Alcohol Misusing Offenders.
Learning points from these projects have been disseminated to staff at national conferences and seminars and practical guidance e.g. manuals, training materials, made available on the probation intranet (EPIC) to facilitate wider implementation. Along with findings from independent research, best practice from the projects has also informed NOMS alcohol interventions guidance due to be launched at events to be held in London and Manchester on the 7th and 16th September.
Around £100,000 is available during 2009/10 to support entirely new project work and/or further developmental work in existing projects. See the invitation letter here. Information about the process for applying for funding and the criteria by which bids will be assessed is here, along with a bid proforma which should be completed and returned to Robert Stanbury at [email protected] by Friday 4th September. If you have any queries please contact Robert Stanbury on 020 7217 0767.
