Police and Court Liaison and Diversion Service - Bracton Centre
-
The Police and Court Liaison and Diversion (L&D) Service identifies people with mental health challenges, learning disabilities, substance misuse or other vulnerabilities coming into contact with the justice system.
We then refer vulnerable individuals to an appropriate treatment or support service in the community, prison and primary or secondary mental health services.
When we have a service user’s consent, we also share information from our assessments with criminal justice agencies and the judiciary. This helps them make more informed and timely decisions about out-of-court disposals, case management and sentencing.
Our team also provides an assessment service at the following times and locations:
- Bromley and Bexley Police Stations - Monday to Sunday (8 am - 8 pm)
- Bromley Magistrate Court - Monday to Friday (9 am - 5 pm)
- Bexley Magistrate Court - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (9 am - 5 pm)
- Woolwich Crown Court - Monday to Friday (9 am - 5 pm)
