Sunday morning AGM Motions
Cordell Pillay, AGS providing another perspective.
An attractive incentive - members arrived at the Spa Centre at 9.00 AM and joined us for croissants and beverages, conference started promptly at 10.00 AM. "e-OASYs Generated PSRs" was the first motion to be debated.
Speakers focused on values and the role of probation officer in producing report rather than relying on e-OASYs to make decisions. Speakers agree that the reference within the report to it being "underpinned and informed by an Offender Assessment System (OASYs in the identification of the rsk of reconviction and the risk of harm" undermines the knowledge, skills and training undertaken by POs. The time consuming, laborious and repetitive nature of composing PSRs via e-OASYs has had a detrimental effect on staff morale.
The motion was passed overwhelmingly.
