A NOMS Offender Management model has been developed to implement in both community and custodial sentences. A pathfinder in the north-west region has been operational since October 2004. The first evaluation report (Action Research) was published on 30 June 2005, and outlines the value of the north-west's testing of the model. The information gained is being fed into the implementation plans for prison and probation areas. A national offender manager and 10 regional offender managers have been appointed. The latter will play the main role in commissioning and will help to build partnership working locally.
