Bolton IST structure
  • Bolton IST consists of the following staff

  • Two seconded police officers and a designated
    drugs worker
  • One SPO Manager who liases closely with the
    Sergeant at GMPs Offender Management Unit

What can a Bolton PPO Offender expect?
  • Those offenders managed by Bolton IST can expect
    the following as part of their supervision
  • A Requirement to attend at least four
    appointments a week and sometimes more than seven
    given on a schedule a week in advance
  • A requirement to attend appointments and engage
    in work with CDT, ADS, Progress to Work and
    educational establishments amongst others.
  • Office visits to address offending behaviour and
    drug use
  • Home visits by probation staff, usually
    accompanied by police officers
  • Swift enforcement action as a result of a failure
    to comply

4
Use of licence conditions
  • The Bolton IST make extensive use of licence
    conditions to disrupt offending.
  • These include
  • The routine inclusion of drug testing conditions
    in Licences as the offending of 92 of PPOs in
    the Bolton area is related to their drug use
  • The routine use of Curfew conditions that are
    monitored by the local police
  • The routine use of Non-Association conditions
    that prevent offenders contacting those with whom
    they are known to offend.

5
Enforcement
  • Bolton IST have rigorous standards for the
    enforcement of Orders and Licences for PPOs
  • This includes
  • A fifteen minute window for the attendance at
    appointments after which any attendance will be
    classed as an absence
  • Strict enforcement of drug testing conditions
    with three positive drug tests resulting a
    discussion regarding whether an offender should
    be recalled to prison
  • Strict enforcement of curfew conditions with
    breaches resulting in recall to prison

6
Links with other agencies
  • Bolton IST have close links with local agencies
    to help with the rehabilitation of offenders.
  • This includes
  • Scheduled monthly sentence planning meetings for
    all offenders imprisoned at HMP Forest Bank
  • Access to a seconded drugs worker from CDT every
    day of the week.
  • PPO Job Shop held at Probation Service Premises
    once per week and staffed by Job Centre Plus
  • Monthly surgery for PPOs with any
    issues/questions held at Forest Bank and staffed
    by PPO team members
  • Close links with the ADS and routine referral to
    and use of this service
  • Routine use of Rainers, a local charity that
    provides support for those seeking accommodation
  • Close links with the local authority housing
    provider
  • Routine use of in house education, training and
    employment services and Progress 2 work
