By the end of April, the new digital UPW assessment tool will be available.  This will be rolled out gradually across the Probation Service and my region will communicate with me when I am expected to start using the tool and brief me in relation to the new tool.

I will use the tool to undertake the UPW assessment for my PoP. Information will be pre-populated from OASys and Delius which will save time and improve the consistency and accuracy of recorded information, improve the assessment of risk and need and lead to unpaid work teams receiving more relevant information, so they can ensure PoP are placed on the most suitable projects. This will also help to ensure the most suitable placement is sourced. I can read more about the tool here.
