Humberside Probation Trust works with a range of partners to achieve our aims to protect the public, reduce re-offending and support the victims of crime.
As core members of the Humberside Criminal Justice Board we work with other Criminal Justice Agencies to improve the effectiveness of the Criminal Justice System in bringing offenders to justice and in reducing offending.
We have strong links with the Police in operating Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) to manage dangerous offenders and to target our work on the most prolific offenders in the community.
We work with local agencies in Community Safety Partnerships with the aim of reducing crime and making local communities safer. Unpaid work undertaken by offenders as a sentence of the court can provide reparation to local communities and help enhance the environment and improve safety.
Humberside Probation Trust works closely with a specialist partnership agencies and education and skills providers throughout the area to improve the basic skills of offenders and increase the chances of them obtaining a job, the biggest factor in helping someone to stop offending.
Substance misuse is a huge problem in this area and we work in partnership with several specialist agencies in order to provide targeted treatment packages for those whose offending is linked to their use of alcohol or drugs.
Work undertaken by voluntary agencies is integral to the services we provide to offenders. Funding of these agencies helps us to deliver additional support to offenders in their efforts to stop offending. Mentoring, advice on finance and debt and support in finding work all contribute to the successful rehabilitation of offenders.
