Dear National Probation Service,

Please can you provide a detailed, step by step breakdown of the scientific method of calculating the following:

1. Offender Group Reconviction Scale (OGRS).

2. The Risk of Serious Harm Recidivism Calculator (RSR).

3. Home Office Accredited Risk Matrix 2000 Tool.

Further to the above, and as the second part of my request, please provide the peer reviewed papers for checking and verifying the OGRS, PSR and Home Office Accredited Risk Matrix 2000 Tool with details of the external body or organisation responsible for signing the tools listed above as empircally valid.

Dear National Probation Service,

You are well past the legal due date for answering my original FOI request. Whilst I appreciate that there have been some relaxations in times taken for answering FOI requests due to the mitigating circumstances of a global pandemic, I feel that you have had enough time to access the information I have requested and send it to me or forward me to the appropriate department.

Please can you now respond appropriately.

Yours faithfully,

Frederick Simeons
