Supervision
The offender may be required to attend appointments with an Offender Manager from the Probation Service. The subject of the supervision and the frequency of contact will be specified in the sentence plan. The length of a supervision requirement must be the overall period for which the Community Order is in force.
Typically during supervision sessions offenders may:
- undertake work to promote personal and behaviour change;
- monitor and review patterns of behaviour and personal activity;
- undertake work to increase motivation and provide practical support to increase compliance with other requirements;
- support and re-enforce learning undertaken as part of a Programme or Activity Requirement;
- undergo individual counselling
- get support from their Probation Officer on fulfulling other aspects of their Community Order.
In specific cases, an Offender Manager might delegate supervision to another person who can provide the offender with specialised support and advice.
