What is NOMS?
Preventing victims by changing lives
“ The National Offender Management
Service (NOMS) was created as an
executive agency of the Ministry of
Justice in April 2008 with the goal of
helping prison and probation services
work together to manage offenders
throughout their sentences”.

Final comments…
• This Learning Network operates under the ESF framework of
encouraging trans-national collaboration and learning, with a
focus on the Active Inclusion and the improvement of
employability and employer awareness of marginalised
communities.
• Although new and unique, the network will capitalise on the
outcomes of surveys already carried out at a national and
European level and the results of previous learning networks,
in order to develop and improve the tools and strategies
already shared and proved by member states. In the future it
will continue to add value to the field through cooperation
with other networks, through mutual support, communication
and sharing of studies and findings.
