Community Sentences

Welcome to Greater Manchester Probation Trust's website

We supervise offenders over the age of 18 who:

  • are given a community order by the Court

or who

  • are released from prison on licence

We also work with victims of serious crimes.

Our strategic aim is to ensure offenders' successful completion of their community orders and licences.

Our work involves serving local people by building safer communities, cutting crime, ensuring public protection and helping to prevent victims.

We supervise approximately 15,500 offenders at any one time. Each year we produce over 14,000 reports for sentencers in the Magistrates' and Crown Courts and supervise the completion of over half a million hours of Community Payback by offenders to improve local communities across Greater Manchester.
