Reports and risk assessments
Criminal Justice Social Work reports are requested by the courts to help inform decisions about sentencing.
The reports include:
- background information on the offender.
- the offender's attitude to the offence.
- an assessment of ongoing risk.
- a review of the likely impact of the available sentences.
Other reports include:
- Reports on compliance with community based sentences.
- Breach reports (where the offender has not complied with the requirements of the Order).
We also prepare Home Background / Home Leave Reports for the Parole Board and Scottish Prison Service.
All of our reports are prepared by qualified and highly skilled, accredited social workers using nationally accredited risk assessment tools and frameworks that provide consistency and maintain standards.
