I'm a new prison officer, 6 months into the job. There's a few things I don't yet know about so can anyone tell me about the roles of the following departments:
Sentence Planning
N.O.M.S.
Probation
MAPPA
I'm grateful for any help offered!

Hi there,
I find it a bit worrying that no-one has taken the time to discuss this with you! (For the benefit of other answerers, however, there is nothing at all secret about any of this, you can read all about it on the websites of the different agencies discussed.) Anyway, here's the basics.
NOMS is the National Offender Management Service, and incorporates the prison and probation services. They share a common risk assessment tool, OASys, which identifies an offender's risk of reconviction, risk of harm, and areas needing attention.
Probation provides the community arm, delivering community sentences and supervising prisoners who are released early on licence.
MAPPA stands for the Multi Agency Purblic Protection Arrangements. It's a scheme which require probation, the prison service and the police to collaborate to supervise the most dangerous offenders. Other agencies, such as mental health services, social services, housing and education are invited to monthly local meetings of the MAPPP (multi agency public protection panel) to discuss how best to manage sexual and violent offenders to minimise risk.
Sentence planning I'm not so sure about as I believe it's mostly prison based.

purplepad has it on the head for the other stuff you asked
Sentence planning started in YOI's and went out into the adult estates
It consists of a wing Gov, personal officer ,prison chaplain, education staff, an SO or PO, prison probation and external probation (if they bother sending anyone)...if the prisoner is coming towards release it may involve organisations who work with ex-prisoners on employment/housing projects etc...it can involve anyone who works with the individual in custody...oh and the prisoner!
It consists of a meeting to discuss how the sentence is progressing, any issues of discipline, and what is going to happen in custody in the future and release prep.
Hope this helps

hi lower back Barbie, i comprehend there are a number of rehabilitated offenders, however the way crime is on the upward thrust, quite violent crimes, i might think of them to be interior the minority regrettably. edit - I ought to have stated that I do have faith whilst they have served their time the slate must be wiped sparkling for them, till they have committed a intercourse crime, whereupon they're on the resister. i think of they then ought to settle for equivalent possibilities. even nevertheless, i might choose to work out repeat offenders and offenders of violent crimes serve a harder sentence with much less luxuries. I additionally think of non nationals who've been convicted of against the regulation be deported lower back to their very own united states to serve time particularly than burden our already overloaded prisons.
