NAPO’S RESPONSE TO PC06/09 ‘DETERMINING PRE-SENTENCE REPORT TYPE’
This is national Napo's response to the recent probation circular on the FDR vs SDR decison making. PC06/09 is a NOMS/PRISON circular - it's odd that the fiction of 'probation circulars' persists. It's a mess: it calls for 'sufficient information' for the courts to sentence and 'sufficient information' for probation to reach defensible decisions - not quite a level playing field... that distant dream of probation being centre stage.
