Thames Valley Probation - Information for Offenders on License

TVP Home > Been sentenced > Information for offenders on license

Unless considered dangerous, offenders sentenced to 12 months or more in prison will be released at the halfway point of the sentence under licence.
You will be required to comply with the conditions of your licence until the end of your sentence. Conditions may include:
• To observe a curfew and wear and electronic tag
• To live at a certain address
• To attend supervision with a probation officer
• Not to contact certain individuals
• To complete an offending behaviour programme
• Not to go to certain places.

If you break any of the conditions of your licence you will be immediately returned to prison. The Parole Board will then consider whether the recall was appropriate and you could be required to serve the remainder of your sentence in custody.

What will supervision mean for me?

When you meet your supervising officer, they will:

Explain the conditions
Confirm your address
Discuss any problems
Tell you how often you will be seen
Tell you about the complaints procedure
Agree a supervision plan with you aimed at reducing reoffending and addressing issues such as housing, employment and reintegration into the community
Once your supervising officer has visited you at home, a letter will be sent to the police. It will confirm your address, the length of licence and the date when you are no longer at risk of recall to prison.
