Title: An Inspection of the Probation Board for Northern Ireland Community Service Scheme
Summary: The purpose of a Community Service Order (CSO) is to prevent re-offending by reintegrating the offender into the community through successful completion of positive and demanding unpaid work, keeping to disciplined requirements and reparation to the community by undertaking socially useful work. This inspection found that the Community Service Scheme is well managed against Northern Ireland Standards. There were no evident concerns about public safety or undue risks associated with the scheme. However, the inspection recommended that the Probation Board for Northern Ireland does need to consider the hours worked by participants. There is a need to vary expectations in relation to the number of hours worked, rather than having a 'one-size fits all' approach.
