The kind of work involved and safeguarding

Part of: Community Payback

Contents

In Trafford, we carry out works to make our communities nicer places to be so that the whole community can benefit. This has involved:

  • litter-picking
  • strimming grass
  • cutting back overgrown hedges
  • painting fences and gates in places like parks and open space

Safeguarding 

Probation always risk assess everyone before they are placed with Trafford Community Payback. The types of crimes for which unpaid work is an appropriate sentence, are usually less serious or non-violent type crimes. 

All those on the scheme are constantly supervised by our experienced Community Payback Supervisor. 

After a piece of work has been completed, we leaflet properties nearby to get feedback. The responses we have had from our local communities has been overwhelmingly positive.
