Welcome
What is Probation? What does Probation do?
This website presents up-to-date information on the Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Trust, which will answer these questions - and provide the answers to many more.
In 2008 we became one of the first Probation Trusts, which presents new opportunities for Leicestershire and Rutland. Our Trust Board members now have the freedom to manage monetary surpluses and deficits over a longer period. This flexibility ensures that resources can be better directed to meet local needs and priorities.
We want you to email us with your thoughts and concerns about your community. We have translated text in the following languages to ensure our site is more accessible. Please watch the video clips, which we hope will give you a better understanding of our work.
The Probation Service’s primary aims are to protect the public by supervising offenders in the community - and reduce re-offending by working with men and women on supervision to enable them to maintain productive and lawful lifestyles.
We also have a designated team who link directly with victims of crime to keep them fully informed of the criminal justice process.
There are opportunities to register your views here . We welcome your suggestions and questions.
