National Offender Management Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) is a department of the Home Office responsible for the correctional services in England and Wales (separate arrangements exist in Scotland and Northern Ireland). Growth in the prison population, which had increased by two thirds over the previous ten years, would be constrained by giving the courts greater confidence in the effectiveness of community sentences as opposed to prison sentences through better management of offenders, leading to reduced levels of reoffending. It was created by combining parts of the headquarters of the National Probation Service and Her Majesty's Prison Service. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/NOMS   (289 words)

National Probation Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The structure and arrangement of UK Criminal Justice Services is, in 2004, in a state of some flux, with the introduction of the National Offender Management Service. The National Probation Service of England and Wales is a statutory Criminal Justice Service, mainly responsible for the supervision of offenders in the community. In its current form, is established as a Directorate of the Home Office and as 42 Area-based Services, coterminous with police force area boundaries, funded by the Directorate but accountable in the first instance to local Probation Committees. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Probation_Service   (333 words)

SocietyGuardian.co.uk Society Guardian Arrested development So far, in his role as chief executive of the newly created National Offender Management Service (Noms), Martin Narey might be best known to the public as the man who blocked the early release of Maxine Carr, the former girlfriend of the Soham killer, Ian Huntley. Decisions on population management, for example, will come out of public sector prison services and be managed in the middle by Noms because population management applies to public and private sector prisons," says Narey. The key individuals will be the 10 regional "offender managers" who are likely to be drawn from the ranks of prison area managers and chief officers of probation, although outside candidates are welcome. society.guardian.co.uk /societyguardian/story/0,7843,1165457,00.html   (1253 words)

Judy McKnight's Napolog: Carter Reports This new service will “provide end-to-end-management of offenders, regardless of whether they are serving their sentences in prison, the community or both”. They will manage the budget for “offender services”, and “will source the prison places, community punishments, supervision and other interventions required for their offenders through contracts with providers from the public, private, ”not for profit” and voluntary sectors within their region and elsewhere. Clearly the thrust of the new proposals is to give a more centrally led approach to service management, but we have many as yet unanswered questions on what this means for the important work we do locally with the police, and local authorities. www.napo.org.uk /napolog/archives/000126.html   (1253 words)

Guardian Probation has proved itself and must be retained Unlike the National Offender Management Service, with its "end to end management of offenders", probation ("prove yourself") does not depict the offender as a passive figure, but one with responsibilities and an active part to play in rehabilitation or reparation. The National Offender Management Service brings the prison and probation services together under a common umbrella, but in the context of introducing an internal and external market. It captures the essence of the relationship between the individual supervised offender and the state and there is a compelling case for retaining it. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4928128-103683,00.html   (429 words)

GNN - Government News Network The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) will bring together the Prison and Probation Services to ensure that progress made in prison is followed through in the community and that cutting re-offending is a top priority for all. The Prison Service Agency will end but public sector prisons will continue to be managed on a national basis reporting to the Chief Executive of NOMS. Mr Blunkett said that the creation of the new service is possible because of major Government investment in, and reform of, both the Prison and Probation Services, which have seen an increase in the numbers of prison places by 15,000 and increased probation funding by 50 per cent. www.gnn.gov.uk /content/detail.asp?ReleaseID=104715&NewsAreaID=2&NavigatedFromSearch=True   (908 words)

BusinessPlanSummary2005-6.doc As NOMS continues to develop, what is envisaged is a split between offender management (the supervision of offenders with one manager for the duration of their sentence) and interventions (specialist areas of probation work, such as accredited offending behaviour programmes, unpaid work and basic skills). Essentially, it means that each offender will have one case manager (offender manager) for the duration of their sentence, both in custody and in the community. Whilst an offender is being supervised in the community, the model involves three distinct roles, comprising: Offender Manager — this is the accountable officer. www.northumbria-probation.co.uk /pdf/docs/BusinessPlanSummary2005-6.doc   (4466 words)

National Offender Management Service: 6 Apr 2005: Westminster Hall debates (TheyWorkForYou.com) We have pilots in the north-west, and the probation service is in practice developing the split between offender management and interventions throughout the country. The National Association of Probation Officers believes that there are still huge gaps and unanswered questions, and that the vision that the Minister has so often articulated about the statement of purpose for the Prison Service and the aims of the probation service is silent on the objective of rehabilitating those who have offended. I am concerned that the Prison Service seems to have opted out of NOMS and, thus, that offender managers will not be able to affect the programmes in prison as they will have no authority over prison governors. www.theyworkforyou.com /whall?id=2005-04-06.468.0   (12377 words)
