Offenders sentenced to Community Orders may be required to attend supervision appointments with an Offender Manager from Gloucestershire Probation. After an initial meeting the Offender Manager will agree a sentence plan which includes the aims of the supervision and the frequency of appointments. This is in effect a contract between the offender and their Offender Manager
Offender Managers will work with offenders to:
- Promote personal and behaviour change
- Monitor and review patterns of behaviour and personal activity
- Reflect on the crimes committed and the affect on victims
- Motivate and provide practical support
- Support and re-enforce learning undertaken as part of a Programme or Activity Requirement
- Provide support on fulfilling other aspects of their Community Order
- Refer the offender to other services to provide support and advice, such as education and training, housing and mental health.
