The Probation Board for Northern Ireland (PBNI) has responsibility for securing placements to allow / facilitate individuals who are subject to Community Service / Supervised Activity Orders imposed by the Courts complete this unpaid work within their local communities with local organisations.
Every year, PBNI invites applications from organisations across Northern Ireland in the Community and Voluntary Sector (CVS) to provide such placements.
This is normally around March time.
Successful applicants are normally required to:
- Provide meaningful work and effective supervision of people subject to any such Court Orders;
- Accept individuals who may be considered more complex in nature;
- Maintain records of work to provide evidence towards the achievement of completed hours for placements;
- Undertake basic trauma-informed training.
Review meetings will take place between PBNI Area Managers and the placement providers to review progress and offer support where necessary.
Check back here when the next round of funding is available for application.
