engagement with those who have coinmitted serious offenc¢s. but who have come to faith. and their
illtegr8tion into suitable church s¢ttings, far as is possible, with full risk manag¢ment arrang¢m¢nts in
place.
The public b¢n¢fits are in s¢v¢ral directions. The public and statutory ag¢nci¢s b¢n¢fit b¢cause support is
availabl¢ for th¢ off¢nd¢rs in the ev¢nings and we¢keftds when the ag¢ncies are usually clos¢d. Supported
ofl¢nders are also much 5af¢r ¢han isolat¢d individuals. Church leadership teams &r¢ ben¢fitted by
dev¢loping hands on skills in monitoring and supportiiig potentially dangerous individual& while ensuring
that all available prole¢lions are in pl￿¢ for vulnerabl¢ church m¢inbers And ¢hildren. The off¢nders
themselves benefit through engmgement with 5UPPOrts. som¢iimes with th¢ir own families. which give
