ACT (Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork)

ACT (Assessment, Care in Custody, and Teamwork) is a comprehensive approach used in custodial settings to ensure effective management and support of individuals in detention. It involves thoroughly assessing each person's needs and risks, providing appropriate care and intervention while they are in custody, and maintaining close collaboration among staff members and relevant agencies. The goal of ACT is to promote safety, wellbeing, and successful reintegration by delivering tailored support, fostering communication, and working together as a cohesive team. This approach helps create a secure environment and better outcomes for individuals within the justice system.
