The Probation Directory, 2009: Incorporating Offender Management and Interventions (formerly Napo Probation Directory): 2009 by Owen Wells
For the 2008 edition, the former Napo Probation Directory was rebranded as The Probation Directory incorporating Offender Management and Interventions. As a result of its support from the National Probation Service and Napo, it not only remains the best professional directory of its kind but now also carries the endorsement of both the management of the probation service and its professional association. Its high standards and appropriate content continue to be maintained because it is compiled by a former probation officer who knows what his colleagues need. The directory features full details of the National Offender Management Service for England and Wales and all the individual Probation Areas. Details of the Probation Service of the Irish Republic are also included. However, it is more than just a list of the names and addresses of those in the probation service. It lists Home Office and Prison Service Agency Personnel, all UK Prisons, Probation and Bail Hostels, Services for Adult Offenders in Scotland, all NACRO Addresses, Specialist Accommodation and other services for offenders, and a comprehensive collection of Miscellaneous Addresses. Listings include: Youth Offending Teams; CAFCASS Area Offices; Scottish Executive Justice Department; Parole Boards of England and Wales, and Scotland; High Security Hospitals; various Home Office Units; Assisted Prisons Visits Unit; Prison Health Research Network; Training Organisations; Services for Victims; Arts for Offenders; and, Glossary of abbreviations commonly used in the Probation Service. The list is almost endless but, in short, The Probation Directory is the most complete compendium of information for those who work with offenders.
