Always proud to hear of specific good practice examples. Thank you @HMIProbation and my hard working regional staff group 💥 – at Guisborough, England
Effective practice was seen within a number of cases inspected as part of fieldwork in the North East region of the Probation Service. Effective professional curiosity and cultural responsivity was noted in the management of Kai buff.ly/WKIhsM1
ALT Effective Practice: North East Regional Spotlight. In the North East region of the Probation Service, inspectors observed professional curiosity and cultural responsivity in practice in the supervision of Kai, a 33-year-old British Asian man of Bangladeshi heritage.
ALT Professional Curiosity and Cultural Responsivity in Practice The practitioner explored Kai’s religious and cultural identity with sensitivity, adapting appointments around prayer times and supporting observance of Eid and Ramadan. Risk discussions were open and respectful, enabling safe boundaries and engagement.
ALT Professional Curiosity and Cultural Responsivity in Practice Curiosity also informed safeguarding decisions, such as reviewing exclusion zones to support mosque attendance while maintaining victim safety. This approach built trust, deepened understanding, and ensured tailored, safe practice.
Well done everyone. It's great to see how we can make public spaces more pleasant to use. Reparation in action 👍🏼👍🏼
The Team have been working hard at Hartlepool Fire Station, strimming, mowing, and weeding the area.
Great work!

People undertaking Community Payback hours can make a huge difference to local communities, whilst repaying for their own behaviour. Learning skills too which hopefully they can take forward positively. Some great work being done across the North East and nationally. 👍🏼👍🏼 – at Guisborough, England
Brilliant work by Supervisor Dani and people on Probation working in the Stockton area 👏
We are assisting in clearing up various alleyways around the area of litter, overgrown vegetation, and fly-tipping. Great work!

This video is incredible.
Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.
It's great to see such benefits of UPW hours. But how sad that over three beautiful beaches, our guys collected over 41kg of rubbish 🙁. Great work as ever @NEPS_Payback, thank you all 👍🏼
People on Probation completed a litter-pick at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea in support of the @mcsuk Great British Beach Clean.
We collected 8 bags of litter weighing a total of 19.5kg! Great work 👏

Delighted to host a visit from @JamesTCobbler today. NE staff showcasing their amazing ideas, compassion & committment, whilst also thinking about what could make their jobs better with ministerial support. Thank you for your time, insightful questions and encouragement. 💥
This is a fantastic idea! Loom skills and a worthy cause, what's not to like! Go @NEPS_Payback. Also met a great woman at one of our centres today doing the reception meet & greet as part of her hours. #NEfullofgreatideas which we got to showcase to @JamesTCobbler today too ⭐
People on Probation working at The Mission Church in Stockton have been loom-knitting hats for adults and babies to be donated to Homeless Shelters and the hospital.
It takes on average 3 hours to complete one hat.

This is a great project in the middle of Saltburn where a fabulous bunch of volunteers run this great little railway, which is used by 100s people every year. Go @NEPS_Payback #excellentcommunitysupport 💥💥💥
We're over the moon to have won the 'Quirkiest Project' award for Saltburn Miniature Railway at the CP50 awards!
Since 2015 we've helped the volunteers at SMR paint fences, replace rotting sleepers, put up flag poles, & strim the area.

Such a lovely thing to do. Well done @NEProbDurham 🎄💝🎁🎉🎄
Almost needed a sleigh & reindeers to deliver the haul of toys & gifts from Probation colleagues across Co Durham & Darlington to children at Darlington Hospital this Xmas. Great links with their Charity Development Manager, well done that man & the Darlington Team🌟

This is fantastic news for our @NEPS_Payback team and PoP involved, but also for our local communities who use our lovely beaches. Well done all, great work 🎉🏆🥇⛱️💥
👷 Our #CommunityPayback of the week goes to probation staff in #Cleveland where beaches have been getting cleared of litter. Great to see the local Police and Crime Commissioner @Cleveland_PCC showing their support for cleaner and safer public spaces. nitter.cf/NEPS_Payback/status/17…

We are taking part in The Anti-Social Behaviour Autumn Clean, continuing to focus on outdoor projects that clean up, maintain or visibly improve local areas.
Great work yesterday by People on Probation, who have tidied up the maze at Leazes Park in Newcastle.

58kg of litter cleared off just one of our lovely North East beaches. Grateful to all those who worked to clean this up. Thank you 👍🏼
Today we assisted @mcsuk on #WorldCleanUpDay with a Beach Clean at Seaton Carew, as part of the Marine Conservation Society Great British Beach Clean campaign👏
We collected 15 bags of litter, weighing in at 58.3kg!

Report ‘Dismantling Disadvantage’launched this July. Laura McIntyre From Changing Lives says ‘systems to address violence against women and girls must ensure they can respond to all victims of abuse, instead of falling back on unhelpful narratives, such as, ‘she didn’t engage’.
