INTEGRATION OF UNPAID WORK AND OFFENDER MANAGEMENT
Integration of Unpaid Work and Offender Management:
The Branch has been contacted by PSOs who are concerned about the lack of training and guidance in relation to this process. A meeting between HR and the unions took place in June 2007 and agreement was reached about training, mentoring, the involvement of POs, and the issue of guidelines. However it appears that this agreement has not been progressed, and PSOs in two offices have raised concerns about the increase in their workload caused by the imposition of new tasks for which they have not been properly trained. Napo will follow-up on these concerns, but we need to hear about the experiences of PSOs, whether previously generic PSOs or UW officers, from across the Area to make a case that can be taken to management. It would be useful to hear about positive as well as negative experiences.
Please contact Fran Newnham via Lotus Notes or telephone.
