Reducing Offending and Reoffending
What is the Reducing Reoffending Board?
There are a range of partners who either have a statutory duty or play critical role in preventing offending and reducing reoffending.
Partnership working is crucial to driving reducing reoffending ambitions forward. To this end the Reducing Reoffending Board brings together partners and multiagency programme leads to strive for better outcomes for victims, for our communities and for offenders.
The Reducing Reoffending Board is convened on a quarterly basis by the Office of Police and Crime Commissioner, on behalf of the Safer Nottinghamshire Board and the Nottingham Community Safety Partnership. The board is the mechanism for the Community Safety Partnerships to delivery their reducing re-offending duty.
