Dangerous & Severe Personality Disorder Programme

The DSPD team is managing a programme of work to develop policy proposals for the management of dangerous people with severe personality disorder.

The proposals are intended both to ensure that the public is protected from some of the most dangerous people in society and to provide high quality services for the individuals themselves to improve their health outcomes and enable them to work towards successful integration in the community.

The work is jointly owned by the Home Office, Prison Service and Department of Health with the twin aims of better public protection from, and improved treatment and management of, those who are dangerous and severely personality disordered.
