London Probation Trust provides a range of tailored programmes for offenders aimed at changing their behaviour and attitudes.  They usually involve group sessions with people who have committed the same offence.

 

Activities may include describing or acting out the offence and activities looking at the effect on their victims.

 

These are the programmes we offer:

 

  • Aggression Replacement Training – for offenders convicted of assault, serious public disorder or criminal damage who pose some danger to the public.

 

  • Drink Impaired Drivers – aimed at reducing reoffending by making offenders face up to the facts related to drinking and driving.

 

  • Sexual Offending Treatment Programmes – designed for people convicted of a sex offence to help them gain control over their offending. 

 

  • Skills for Life – for people needing help with literacy and numeracy. Skills for Life will lead to a qualification and/or support to follow further training.

 

  • Steer Clear – a fee-paying drink-drive programme focusing on the impact of alcohol on the body and how this may influence behaviour.  Participants who complete the programme within the set time will be eligible for a 25% reduction in their licence ban.  Click here for more information about Steer Clear.

 

  • Thinking Skills Programme – a general programme for people with entrenched patterns of offending to help them develop techniques to avoid crime in the future.

 

  • The Women's Programme - a programme for acquisitive female offenders to help make positive changes and develop personal skills.

 

  • Workwise – designed to get offenders into work and run with Jobcentre Plus and other agencies.
