Kent, Surrey and Sussex Community Rehabilitation Company is committed to protecting staff and services users by following national public health guidance on coronavirus (COVID-19).
Your appointments
Following approval by Her Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service, we will be changing the way we hold your appointments to help stop the spread of the virus. Your Responsible Officer will contact you with information about your probation appointments and what you will need to do.
Community Payback and group-work
We have started running some Community Payback groups again. Your Responsible Officer will contact you with information about what you will need to do.
Unfortunately, we still cannot safely run some other types of group-work such as accredited programmes. Your Responsible Officer will contact you about how you will have to stay in contact with probation and complete your sentence during this time.
We understand the disruption these measures will cause, but the safety and wellbeing of staff, service users and the wider community is our priority.
