What works to build and sustain positive relationships between staff and individuals under supervision? How does staff diversity impact on relationships with individuals? How can quality relationships influence the outcomes of individuals under supervision?

Background

We want to address the causes of reoffending using personalised evidence, live data, and digital services to better target and sequence interventions. To do this we need to build the evidence base that can inform the development of more holistic measures than ‘proven reoffending’, factoring in a broader range of outcomes.

Next steps

We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.

    Why might this be relevant?

    The project partially answers the question by examining the impact of reform on the roles, identities, and cultures of probation workers, but does not directly address staff diversity or the influence of quality relationships on outcomes.
