Bail Supervision Orders
Courts may decide that instead of remanding a person in custody while court proceedings are going on, they will place them on Bail Supervision. This will not normally happen without the person having discussed this with a worker from the Criminal Justice (CJ) Social Work Service through the Bail Information Scheme.
The person on bail will be expected to see a worker from the CJ Social Work Service
This is not an easy option - the requirement is to see the CJ worker at least three times a week, of which one appointment may be in the person's home. However, we have found so far that a good level of compliance with Bail Supervision may well improve someone's chances of receiving a supervisory sentence when their case is finally dealt with.
