Criminal Justice Inspection 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.

Author: Northern Ireland. Criminal Justice Inspection Title: An Inspection of Community Supervision by the Probation Board for Northern Ireland Summary: Supervising offenders in the community represents a significant proportion of the overall work of the probation service, and is carried out by probation officers and probation service officers across the whole of Northern Ireland. A small number of these offenders when released from prison continue to pose a significant risk to the community, and it is essential that they are being supervised effectively to support their rehabilitation. This inspection assessed the performance of the Probation Board for Northern Ireland (PBNI) in supervising offenders in the community. The inspection also sought to ensure that there was a legacy of both personal and organisational learning by involving probation managers and probation officers/probation service officers in the review of case files, together with the assessors from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation (HMI Probation). We also sought to benchmark the performance of the PBNI in comparison with other probation services and practice in England and Wales. The inspection shows the PBNI to be an effective organisation which delivers its services against challenging standards which compare to, and on many occasions exceed, those being delivered in England and Wales. The results of the case file reviews, feedback from stakeholders from within the criminal justice system and third sector, as well as offenders and victims, reflects the approach of an organisation which understands and accepts its role in delivering public safety and reducing offending.
