What We Do

London Probation works with offenders to protect the public and reduce re-offending in London.

We deliver a range of services to offenders, all designed to tackle their offending behaviour. These include regular supervision meetings, specifically designed programmes and management of Unpaid Work as punishment for offenders in the community. We also provide offenders with training in new skills and assistance in finding employment.
 
We work with offenders at every stage of their sentence, firstly by providing detailed reports on them to the courts. These are used to assist Judges and Magistrates in deciding on the most appropriate sentence for an offender. 
 
If the offender is sentenced to a Community Order, it is our job to ensure they complete the requirements of the order, and inform the courts if they don't.
 
Lastly, we work with offenders released from prison on licence to ensure they adhere to the conditions of that licence and to assist with their resettlement in the community.
 
Our five key aims are:
  • Protection of the public
  • Reduction of re-offending
  • Proper punishment of offenders
  • Rehabilitation of offenders
  • Proper care of victims
