The Forensic Outreach and Liaison Service is a service for Kent, providing a safe, effective and timely pathway from medium/low secure care into the community, for people requiring ongoing specialist forensic mental health care following a secure inpatient admission.  The service will provide ongoing care and support for those individuals requiring specialist intervention to address risks and psychological needs and works to support social care needs, which if these failed could potentially lead to relapse and reoffending. 

The service is within the South East, Adult Secure Services, New Care Model and will work in parity and close partnership with Surrey and Sussex Forensic Services.
