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.
