Nottinghamshire Probation Area
to become a Trust
We are delighted to announce that Nottinghamshire Probation Area will become a Trust as of April 2010.
Probation Trusts are the key building blocks in reforming the way offenders are managed in custody and the community to reduce
re-offending and protect the public. Approval to become a Trust demonstrates the confidence the Minister of State Maria Eagle and National Offender Management Service have in the work Nottinghamshire Probation does in partnership.
Chief Officer for Nottinghamshire Probation Area, Jane Geraghty said: ‘We are very pleased to have been granted approval to become a Trust. This is thanks in no small part to the hard work of our staff and partners in maintaining our excellent performance. We finished the year again in the top quartile for performance with one of the highest scores in relation to reducing reoffending.
‘Becoming a Probation Trust is also an indicator that we are well respected nationally, regionally and locally’.
