Abstract
The key aim of the evaluation is to identify ‘what works’ via a thorough assessment of project design, implementation (including the context in which the project is operating),
delivery and impact. The specific objectives of the evaluation are to:
• Identify the rationale for the scheme and to gather information on how it was implemented and developed.
• Identify significant features of the social, environmental and service context in which the scheme is operating.
• Assess the impact of the scheme on proxy indicators of effectiveness namely, change in criminogenic attitudes, levels of post release contact and service uptake.
The research provides a picture of the ways in which the TSS has been organised and delivered by DAWN and G4S. In particular, it gathers and examines the views and experiences of a variety of ‘key players’ involved in the scheme, including TSS staff,
prisoners and members of outside service agencies. It has also produced interim indicators of the effectiveness of the TSS scheme.
