This report, aimed predominately at commissioners and decision makers but accessible to any professional, looks at the need for and benefits of Women Centred Working.
Going through the principles on which Women Centred Working is based the report looks at: - the safe, supportive, community based and accessible nature of the approach - holistic, tailored and multi agency ways of working - the concepts of empowerment and co-production - the nature of effectiveness, outcomes focused and evidence based work - cost effectiveness and prevention It includes quotes and case studies throughout and examples of good practice and suggestions for development of Women Centred Working for funders, government, service providers and so on towards the end of the document. Of key importance to NICCO readers is the reference to women's children throughout and to the support offered to women offenders or those at risk of offending especially with regard to cost effectiveness.
