London Probation Trust takes pride in the
development of our staff, and the high quality of work they
produce. In recognition of this, we have won a number of
awards over recent years.
Recognised for Excellence
In 2007, London became the first probation
area to hold the Recognised for Excellence (R4E) award for
Interventions. To gain the award, staff in approved premises,
community payback and offending behaviour programmes collated and
presented documented evidence of service delivery and quality. This
was judged by external assessors from the British Quality
Foundation.
Two of our Offender Management cluster were
awarded the R4E in 2009.

Excellence visit the British Quality Foundation (www.bqf.org.uk/rec_r4e.htm).
