Angus Justice Services will be implementing the Caledonian System, a national accredited system to address domestic abuse, later this year. We invite stakeholders and partners from Angus Community Justice Partnership; Victim Services; elected members; and Angus Council Social Work staff to attend and learn more about the new system. The session will be hosted by Angus Justice Services and Gill McKinna, National Co-ordinator for Caledonian, Community Justice Scotland.
The Caledonian System is an integrated whole family approach to address men's domestic abuse and to improve the lives of women, children and men. This integrated intervention system comprises:
1. A programme of work with men lasting at least two years, comprising 14 1:1 motivation and engagement sessions; a group-work component of twenty-two sessions; and post group maintenance work.
2. An integrated service to women partners and ex-partners which includes personal contact from a women’s services worker for the duration the men are subject to statutory interventions.
3. An integrated service for children to ensure the needs of each child are being met and their rights are being upheld.
4. The development of intra and interagency protocols coupled with training, designed to maximise women and children’s safety and thus reduce the opportunity for, or likelihood of, men re-offending.
