Recommendation 11
11
Cross-Government Reducing Reoffending Board lacks clear departmental roles and governance for substance misuse.
Recommendation
Substance misuse is the only area where the Cross-Government Reducing Reoffending Board—made up of senior representatives from 12 central government bodies, and with a remit to identify opportunities to reduce reoffending—has not set out the main departments which have a role. The Board has also not set out a detailed governance structure or performance reporting arrangements across departments’ work – either on substance misuse treatment or on other initiatives aimed at reducing reoffending.26
