This policy framework replaces Probation Instruction 07/2018 - Enhanced Through the Gate. It sets out the role of new pre-release teams, which will:

• identify prisoners immediate resettlement needs on reception
• complete any immediate actions which would support effective resettlement at end of sentence
• particularly focus on people held out-of-area supporting community offender managers (COMs) to prepare them for release
• work with those on remand

The policy is supported by the pre-release and resettlement guidance which describes:

• the role of pre-release teams
• how these teams fit with offender management in custody (OMiC)
• the CRS pre-release provision to support people leaving custody
