We are pleased to share with you the Joint Statement agreed between the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Association of Chief Officers of Probation (ACOP).

Within the public policy areas of mental health, community safety and criminal justice, both organisations share issues of common interest.

The purpose of the joint statement is to promote engagement at a national level between the ACOP and the College in a form that stimulates and supports joint working between psychiatric and probation practitioners and managers at a local level.

The Government is seeking to achieve greater working across departmental boundaries, and collaboration between the ACOP and the College will contribute to this.

The Joint Statement is the product of an ACOP/RCPsych Liaison Group. Our sincere thanks are owed to the following members of the group who have informed and advised on the content: Dr Ranjit Baruah; Professor John Gunn; Dr Peter Snowden and Stuart McPhillips, ACOP Policy Development Advisor.

We will continue to work on the agenda identified in the Joint Statement and hope that it will be taken forward by the National Probation Service Directorate with the Royal College of Psychiatrists from April 2001.

If there are areas of work in the Joint Statement that you would like to discuss further please contact either the ACOP or the Royal College of Psychiatrists. We would be pleased to hear from you.
