Supervision

What will happen in supervision?

Typically you will:

• work to identify the things in your life that need to change and then get support to help you change them
• get support from your probation officer on fulfilling other aspects of your Comnunity Order
• be referred to other services for help and support to address your needs such as education and training, housing or help for drug and alcohol misuse.

What is expected of me?

• listen carefully to what your responsible officer says and do what they ask you to do
• turn up for appointments on time
• make sure you turn up in a fit state to take part
• show respect to probation staff and other people you meet during your sentence
• tell your offender manager straight away if you plan to change your address or phone number
• tell your offender manager straight away if you are unable to keep an appointment or if you have a problem with anything else in your sentence
• stick to any other rules you may be given as part of your Community Order
• tell your offender manager if you are having any other problems with completing your sentence
• let your offender manager visit you at home if they need to
• stay out of trouble.

What you can expect from us

A clear and understandable Sentence Plan, which you will be expected to sign and follow during your supervision with the Probation Trust.

Your offender manager will:

• explain your sentence to you
• talk to you about the plan for your sentence
• talk to you about what you need help with
• make clear when they can help you with it
• make clear what you must do and how long you will need to do it for
• make clear what will happen if you do not attend appointments or if you do not do what they ask you to do
• review your progress and work with you to help you complete your sentence successfully
• treat you fairly.
