The Prolific and Other Priority Offenders Strategy
JTrack Training
Training
JTrack training falls into three categories:
- Basic
- 'Train the Trainer'
- Reports
A CD-ROM of training materials which provides a comprehensive overview of requirements can be obtained from the Home Office PPO Programme Team by emailing ppo@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. The CD-ROM is provided at no cost.
Training is provided at no cost to the User's organisation. The only costs incurred locally are travelling and subsistence allowances where attendance is required.
