Working closely with the National Probation Service you will establish links to ensure that individuals on court orders and licences are provided with high quality advice, information and support to reduce the risks of them re-offending.
You will maintain contact with local individuals during custodial sentences, arrange visits and develop a clear plan in terms of their release which may include liaising with the Rough Sleepers Team and collection from the prison to ensure that first appointments are kept to reduce the risk of drug and/or alcohol use, overdose and re-offending or re-call to custody.

Relationships with custody, probation and liaison and diversion staff will allow you to optimise opportunities to prevent people being sentenced to prison.
