Accommodation

Evidence shows that where offenders are resident in unsettled or unsatisfactory accommodation they are more likely to reoffend.

Wiltshire Probation Area employ staff whose role it is to assist offenders into appropriate public and private sector accommodation, referring offenders to specific hostels, projects and approved premises where necessary.

Wiltshire Probation Area does not run its own Approved Premises (probation hostel), although we do work closely with other probation areas in the south west region whose hostels can be used to place the highest risk Wiltshire offenders.

For information on finding accommodation for people who need support to help them live independently please visit the Supporting People Directory of Services website www.spdirectory.org.uk.
