About Make Time Count
Make Time Count Today originated from work carried out with London Probation in 2018-20. After observing service users (people on Probation) and Probation Officers, we realised that there was:
Opportunity to help offenders and their victims
Opportunity to improve the processes and systems via effective use of technology
Thus our Connected Justice Platform, the ‘AirBnB for Help’ was born. Make Time Count has since been working with Police Forces across the country on the optimal solution for running diversion programmes instead of the traditional court route. Our technology platform fully automates the steps involved in the diversion and provides an end to end operating model that:
Eliminates workload from front-line staff
Reduces the overall cost of running comprehensive diversion programmes
Links on-the-street decisions with conditions run by community groups and providers
Provides unparalleled insights into the proportionality of Officer decision making
Develops an understanding of the appropriateness of interventions to support future
condition selection
The platform has been co-created by a cross-Force coalition. The solution is built, has been
operationally tested and is ready to roll-out.
