London Probation Trust works with offenders aged 18 and over who have been either
sentenced by the courts to a Community Order or Suspended Sentence Order, or Released on licence from prison to serve the rest of their sentence in the community.


We prepare pre-sentence reports for judges and magistrates in the courts which help them to choose the most appropriate sentence.  London Probation Trust also helps to liaises with victims of crime if the offender has been given a prison sentence of 12 months or longer.

We work with offenders in the community to help them to stop committing further crimes and we manage approved premises (hostels) for offenders with a residence requirement on their sentences or licences.  We also work in prisons assessing offenders to prepare them for release.

Our work contributes to crime prevention and public safety in the capital by reducing reoffending and managing the risk of harm offenders pose.

Our aims

 

  •  Reduce reoffending and protect the public
  •  Enforce community sentences which punish and rehabilitate offenders
  •  Keep victims informed
  •  Provide innovative services, including professional assessments to the courts  
  •  Manage risk and influence positive change in offenders' behaviour.
