Forensic Services
Cornerstone's Forensic Services provide support for adults with learning disabilities and mental health issues where past, present or future contact with the criminal justice system has been identified or is anticipated.
We aim to protect vulnerable adults and the local community from the effects of re-offending and by introducing structured support, employment opportunities and activities we enable individuals to be successfully integrated into the community.
