During a time of change within the public sector, I can tell you that Humberside Probation Trust is a confident and forward looking organisation. I am proud to lead the Trust as we undertake the work of managing and supervising those who have committed crimes within our communities.

You will appreciate that this is not easy work. It is always challenging and demanding. However, Humberside Probation Trust has an embedded culture of high performance, and I have the benefit of leading highly skilled and committed staff. In addition, much of our work is dependent on the close and productive partnerships that we have developed with a range of other agencies, and I am, again, proud of the wide network of services and provision that the Trust and partners have put in place.

Thank you for taking time to look at our website. It demonstrates how the Trust is meeting its statement of purpose, which is “… to make the diverse communities we serve safer by working with others to: reduce reoffending, protect the public, and support the victims of crime”.

To be considered a project must meet the following criteria:

• It must benefit the local community
• It must not take paid work away from others
• No one must make a profit from the work
• It must be challenging and demanding
• It must be worthwhile and constructive
• Offenders must be seen to be putting something back into the community.

The Community Payback team will assess the project for suitability and for health and safety implications. Once the work has been completed a plaque will be displayed with the Community Payback logo, if appropriate. This will indicate where offenders have positively contributed to improving a neighbourhood. Anyone can nominate a project, so, if you are an individual, member of a club,community group, faith group or voluntary organisation and have a project that fits the criteria please send us your nomination.

All nominations are handled in confidence. Humberside Probation Trust will not disclose your contact details to any third party.

The Howard League for Penal Reform awards are given to the country’s most successful community projects and aim to increase public and government support for community sentences. The awards are designed to not only celebrate success but also to promote positive practice in the delivery of community sentences.

The Youth Offending Burglary Project provides intensive, bespoke interventions for up to twelve offenders who have presented as the most prolific in respect of burglary type crimes. Through the project they receive an enhanced level of intervention, monitoring and support from a multi-disciplinary youth offending team which is supplemented by input from specialist private sector provision and a range of community resources.

The project started in response to spiralling levels of youth crime during 2010-11 in North Lincolnshire, and specifically high levels of domestic burglaries and youth custody rates alongside a failure to manage individuals on bail. There was a great sense of urgency that the devastation caused in local communities by youth burglary had to be halted and that existing provision and inter-agency working was insufficient.

The aims and objectives of the project are:

• To reduce youth burglary and custody rates
• To provide a range of varied and effective community based interventions
• To develop inter-agency working to improve compliance and engagement
• To reduce the number of victims
• To make people feel and be safe in their community.

With thanks to the Howard League for Penal Reform for permission to use photographs from the awards event.

The plans set out by Justice Secretary Ken Clarke were intended to ensure community sentences are a tough and credible punishment that better tackle reoffending, supported by reforms aimed at modernising probation to cut crime. The plans aim to make better use of the innovation, capacity and diversity of voluntary private providers who are in partnership with the probation service.
