Hampshire Probation Trust is celebrating after achieving 4 stars in the Recognised for Excellence (R4E) programme.
The award is part of a drive by Hampshire Probation Trust to continually improve the services that it offers the community. During the Assessment for the R4E award, assessors from the British Quality Foundation visited the Trust and met with staff and managers.
The Trust, which supervised around 6,000 offenders across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, were praised for their work in building strong partnership with other organisation to ensure that the public were protected.
Staff were also commended for their work in supporting offenders with learning difficulties to access services to tackle their difficulties, to reduce their risk of reoffending.
Hampshire Probation Trust’s, Chief Executive, Barrie Crook, said: "The award is incredibly important, recognising the highest standards of service that we offer the communities in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, as well as the way we operate as an organisation.
“As a Trust we are growing and developing our services to help us drive down re-offending rates. Receiving the 4 star award recognises the professionalism of our staff and the excellence of their work."
This is the second time that the Trust has achieved four stars for the award.
