Brochure of Probation Interventions – East of England

Foreword

The East of England Probation Service is delighted to launch the new and refreshed Judicial Brochure for 2022/2023. We have experienced significant changes post the unification of the Probation Service (June 2021) and now we are collectively as ‘one’ in an improved position to focus on the delivery of quality services. Courts are the ‘window’ to the probation service, and we are proud of our skilled staff who provide assessments, advice and reports to support sentencing and ultimately, the rehabilitation of those who have committed crimes.

Protecting the public and working effectively with other partners to achieve this is our prime focus. With the support of critical information and evidential tools, our aspiration is to propose the ‘right sentence, for the right person, at the right time’.

For some, interventions will be instrumental in supporting a pathway away from crime, and for others our focus may be on using new sentencing options with controls such as Electronic Monitoring and other technologies to support desistence from alcohol or drugs.

This brochure illustrates the wide-ranging options available within our region. It is our role, with the support of yourselves, to employ evidential and person-centred assessments to support sentencing and the critical expectation of protecting our communities with others; I commend this to you.
