Abstract
An increasing challenge of working within Approved Premises is the complex nature of offenders presenting with personality disordered traits. This practice note outlines how our team of probation and mental health staff utilised training from the Knowledge and Understanding Framework (KUF) to adapt current practice in understanding and managing such complex cases. Some case examples are provided to add context and recommendations have been made for future practice, based on reflection.
