This collaborative approach has helped to turn these sort of risks into opportunities: • OM Model not rolled out uniformly – by contributing to development piloting and preparations for Layered OM • Offender management is under specified – by contributing to the specification of ‘Manage Sentence in Custody’ • Prison and probation retreat into managing offenders under separate systems – by bringing prison & probation together to undertake quality audits of offender assessment & management • Pass the parcel not end-to-end approach to offender management – by capturing the end to end process in an at-a-glance format and then testing it • Offender management becomes just another intervention rather than a continuous thread – from just about every SFO case we know that discontinuity is often at the heart of the issue. OM provides the means to deliver public protection end-to-end and is not an end in itself
