The National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) is operated by the not-for-profit company UKROEd on behalf of the police service.

NDORS comprises a range of behaviour change courses offered to offenders (at the discretion of the Chief Officer of Police) instead of a prosecution. UKROEd commissioned TRL to evaluate the effectiveness of several of these courses, in terms of whether they improve knowledge and change the attitudes and behaviours of course attendees.

This presentation will cover the research questions, method and findings of the evaluations.
