Total Quantity or Scope

Following a pilot for Immediate Justice in ten trailblazer areas across England and Wales the UK Government have decided to roll it out across all other force areas of England and Wales. Immediate Justice will ensure that perpetrators of anti-social behaviour and relevant crimes are held accountable for their behaviour, whilst providing victims and communities with a voice in how they would like offenders to make amends. Utilising existing Criminal Justice frameworks, Immediate Justice is applicable as an Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) i.e. Community Resolution or Conditional Caution, identified through the Community Remedy document. Offenders will be required to undertake unpaid community work with an ambition for them to start that work as soon as 48 hours after referral to the Immediate Justice Reparation Service provider, so victims know anti-social behaviour is treated seriously and with urgency.Surrey Police will employ two Immediate Justice Administrative Officers, who will manage cases following referral from Police Officers or Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). They will make referrals to the relevant service provider who will then facilitate reparative activities with offenders. The Surrey Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and Surrey Police are seeking to roll out Immediate Justice across the whole county. … Objectives The objective of the procurement process is to establish a fully managed Immediate Justice delivery service across Surrey. To reduce incidents of crime and anti-social behaviour, by holding perpetrators to account through the delivery of up to 50 cases of swift and visible reparative activities across Surrey per month. To reduce re-offending by adopting a Restorative Justice approach alongside the reparative activity.
