Adult Assessment (SPIn)
Our Service Planning Instrument (SPIn™) assesses risk, needs and protective factors in adult populations. It can be used in probation, parole, re-entry and custodial settings to assess risk of recidivism and to identify service needs.
The primary objective of SPIn™ is to help case workers develop service plans for their criminal justice clients. SPIn™ also:
- Provides scoring, classifying offenders according to overall risk level so that you can assign adequate supervision.
- Focuses on user application issues – building assessment interfaces that help users apply the results.
- Links assessment results immediately to individual case planning and to appropriate service provision.
- Helps with case planning by identifying areas of need that you can easily link to interventions and other services for adult offenders.
- Displays assessment results using clear, easy to follow graphical features through web-based software
After producing a risk and protective factor profile, SPIn™ software helps guide users through case plan development. It also tracks the progress of the case plan over time.
SPIn Implementation
In addition to training on conducting SPIn™ assessments, we offer a two-day training course for case planning purposes.
We have developed a number of tools for helping jurisdictions make the most of SPIn:
- Supervisor training
- Quality assurance assessment
- Data workshops
- Refresher training
- On-site technical support
