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.

We were one of the first Probation Areas to be granted Trust status, which is in recognition of our consistently high performance and our innovative approach to creating new partnership opportunities.

LRPT recently received the national Beacon Award for Reducing Re-offending, which was in recognition of a joint programme of work with five of the Local Authorities. The Probation Trust successfully achieved the Investors in People Award for the third time on 31st March 2009.

The Probation Service’s primary aims are to protect the public by supervising offenders in the community - and to reduce re-offending by working with men and women on supervision to enable them to maintain productive and lawful lifestyles. Each year we supervise around 5,000 cases.

We also have a designated team who link directly with victims of crime to keep them fully informed of the criminal justice process.

We want you to email us with your thoughts and concerns about your community. There are opportunities to register your views here . We welcome your suggestions and questions.

About us

Our number one priority is the protection of the public. The Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Trust (LRPT) works towards this key aim by supervising offenders and working with them to target their offending behaviour.

Supervision

Did you know? Supervision with the Probation Service is more effective at reducing crime than a short sentence in prison. The latest national figures show that frequency of re-offending for community sentences has fallen sharply by 13%. The re-offending rate following a short custodial sentence is 59.7%. The re-offending rate following a community sentence is 37.9%.

Re-Offending

Did you know?Nationally, there has been a recent 11% reduction in predicted re-offending rates for men and women who have attended General Offending Behaviour Programmes. These programmes are about teaching offenders how to improve their problem solving skills to find better ways to resolve potentially difficult situations.

Community Payback

Did you know? The local Community Payback campaign has enabled Leicestershire and Rutland to promote the benefits of Unpaid Work to local communities and local authorities.

In a 12 month period supervised offenders completed more than 203,439 hours of reparation work for local charities, schools, church trusts, faith groups and Local Authorities.

It is important that our range of work covers both urban and rural projects - work that wouldn’t otherwise have got done.
