The PROTECT N&S
project is a joint venture between the Probation Board for
Northern Ireland (PBNI) and the Probation and Welfare Service
(PWS). It is funded under the PEACE II initiative and will
initially run until the summer of 2006. This initiative
builds on the existing positive and strong informal links
between the two services and, driven by the Belfast Agreement
and the subsequent Criminal Justice Review, seeks to contribute
to the process of building peace and reconciliation through
improving community safety and security - get more
PROTECT N&S
is a vehicle for sharing best practice in Probation along the
border areas initially and then throughout Ireland. The Project
will seek to develop strong cross border links between the two
agencies and also assist in the process of sharing good theory
and practice with other agencies in the criminal justice system
and with relevant groups and organisation in the community and
voluntary sector.
PROTECT N&S
recognises that information sharing is fundamental to good interagency
practice. Protocols for assisting the PBNI and PWS to more effectively
meet their common goals of improving public safety are part
of the goal of the project. The project will also run training
seminars and conferences for Probation staff and will set up
two cross border projects aimed at maximising resources for
the Probation staff in border areas
