Strengthen Your Leadership with the Work with Offenders Manager Webinar Series

Leadership in probation and offender management is becoming increasingly complex. From managing hybrid teams to meeting rising regulatory expectations, today’s managers face evolving challenges that demand targeted support. That’s where the Work with Offenders Manager Webinar Series comes in — a dedicated professional development programme designed specifically for leaders in probation and offender services.

Whether you’re a new manager stepping into your first leadership role or a seasoned professional navigating system-wide changes, this series offers valuable tools and insights to help you lead effectively.

Addressing Real-World Operational Challenges

The series dives deep into the day-to-day realities of managing teams in justice settings. With remote and hybrid working models now commonplace, maintaining oversight and team cohesion has become more challenging than ever. These sessions offer practical strategies to drive performance and foster strong team dynamics, regardless of where staff are located.

A Strong Emphasis on Quality Assurance

Quality assurance (QA) remains a cornerstone of effective offender management. The webinar series includes focused guidance on the RSR QA Framework, helping managers understand key expectations, avoid common audit pitfalls, and embed QA practices into routine supervision. In high-pressure environments with frequent agency staff engagement, this support is more critical than ever.

Supporting the Professionalisation Agenda

As the probation service aligns more closely with national professional standards, managers are increasingly responsible for guiding their teams — including agency staff — through registration processes and compliance expectations. The series outlines RSR’s structured approach to managing this transition, offering clarity on how to support staff development and meet new regulatory requirements.

Practical, Expert-Led Learning

Each webinar is led by experienced professionals who understand the probation context. Participants gain access to strategic insights, practical tools, and evidence-based approaches tailored to the challenges of justice sector leadership. Whether preparing for inspections, managing workforce changes, or striving to improve service outcomes, managers will come away better equipped to lead with confidence.
