Avon & Somerset Probation is Recognised for Excellence

Avon & Somerset Probation Trust has achieved 4 stars in the Recognised for Excellence (R4E) programme on its first application.

The Trust has approximately 600 staff working with over 5,000 offenders. It is funded by the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice, which brings together the headquarters of the Probation Service and HM Prison Service to enable more effective delivery of services.

R4E is part of the EFQM Levels of Excellence programme and is designed for organisations that are well on their way to organisational excellence. It recognises successful efforts to implement excellence and good practice, and offers the benefits of a structured approach to identifying organisational strengths and areas for improvement as well as an external point of view.
