Details
This policy framework forms part of the arrangements to help minimise risks to the health and safety of employees undertaking home visits in accordance with the Probation Service’s duty to ensure the safety of its employees so far as reasonably practicable.
It aims to ensure that there is clear guidance to inform decision-making and a consistent interpretation of the instruction to support staff in the undertaking of a home visit to people on probation in the community - both subject to licence conditions and community orders.
It is intended for operational probation practitioners who undertake home visits to people on probation.
This policy framework sets out the mandatory requirements, instructions and guidance in relation to the undertaking of home visits and refers readers to other relevant policies and practice guidance to assist them with the undertaking of the most effective home visits.
