“…People understand and experience their environment through sight, sound, touch, sense and smell. Penal settings (for example courts, prisons and detention centres) are shaped by noises, odours and architectures with the contradictory potential to be both overwhelming and under-stimulating (Schmidt and Jefferson, 2021). The auditory environment of a prison gives clues to the state of emotions, security and safety to the people within (Herrity, 2020).…”

Putting a face to a name: Telephone contact as part of a blended approach to probation supervision

et al. 2021

This article is about the experience of telephone supervision from the perspective of practitioners. It is set in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, which changed and challenged the nature of probation supervision and required service users and supervisors to communicate remotely, using the telephone, rather than by meeting face-to-face. The article explores some of the impacts and consequences of telephone contact and examines the extent to which this approach has a part to play in future, post-pandemic, ways of working. The article draws on findings from a research project examining remote supervision practice during the pandemic. Fieldwork (comprising an online survey and a series of semi-structured interviews) was conducted between July and September 2020 in three divisions within an English community rehabilitation company. The article reinforces the importance of face-to-face work in probation practice but suggests that there is scope to retain some use of telephone supervision as part of a future blended practice model. Further thinking about telephone supervision might consider these three themes identified in the research: remote working limits the sensory dimension of supervision, relationships remain at the heart of practice, and good practice requires professional discretion.
