Community Payback Order
Community Payback Orders replaced Probation, Community Service Orders for offences committed after 1 February 2011. The main Requirements routinely imposed are either Supervision or Unpaid Work (or a combination of both), with Programme Requirements mainly restricted to approved Programmes such as Moving Forward: Making Changes (Sex Offenders) or Caledonian (Domestic Abuse). Mental Health/ Drug or Alcohol Treatment Requirements are seldom used, and support can usually be offered in relation to these through Supervision.
Overall, the possible/ expected outcomes will be similar to the national picture.
Other than Level 1 Unpaid Work Requirements, Community Payback Orders require the preparation of a Criminal Justice Social Work Report. Assessments undertaken within the CJSWR Process can include Level of Service Inventory (Revised): Screening Version; STABLE 2007 (Sexual Offenders); Spousal Assault Risk Assessment (Domestic Abuse).
