The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) was created in 2004. NOMS is the system through which correctional services and interventions are commissioned and provided to protect the public and reduce re-offending.
NOMS bridges the divide between custody and community, helping to deliver punishments and reparation and co-ordinate rehabilitative, health, educational, employment and housing opportunties for offenders to reduce re-offending.
A new structure was introduced to NOMS on April 1 2008 as part of reorganisation of the Ministry of Justice. NOMS and the Headquarters and regional structures of HM Prison Service were streamlined into a single organisation responsible for front line delivery running HM Prison Service, overseeing the contracts of privately run prisons, managing probation performance and creating probation trusts.
