It has a statutory duty to provide advice to the court, and to supervise and enforce community sentences. The Probation Service is involved in sentence planning at HMP Stanley and provides targeted intervention to those in prison and the community. Everyone who has a sentence in prison or in the community has a sentence plan in place to deliver rehabilitative work to address the factors leading to offending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a Youth Diversion Scheme in place which aims to provide children and young people with early intervention to prevent harm and reduce the risk of offending. It provides a robust alternative to prosecution through the criminal justice system and is available to all children and young people over the age of criminal responsibility, who are at risk of offending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The service is represented on the Falkland Islands Safeguarding Children\u2019s Board, the Safeguarding Adults Board, and the Criminal Justice Council. The Falkland Islands Probation Service is responsible for ensuring that victims are supported, and kept informed of key dates during the sentence, and this is usually achieved in partnership with another agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unusually support is also offered on a non-statutory basis \u2013 either for those at risk of offending or after statutory supervision (supervision as part of a sentence) has ended. This is an important aspect of the service which plays a unique role in keeping the community safe by offering ongoing support to those who want it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1vh\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee;color:#eeeeee\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1vh\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/socialservices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/g963rVWi_400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-354\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/socialservices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/g963rVWi_400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/socialservices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/g963rVWi_400x400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/socialservices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/g963rVWi_400x400-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-04d632e2 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Justice Overseas <br>Territories Network (CJOT)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falkland Islands Probation Service is a member of the Community Justice Overseas Territories (CJOT) network.
