This appears to be the Scottish terminology for things we know in England as the Pre sentence report, curfews and and electronic tagging.

I believe the situation in Scotland is slightly different, as these things are the responsibilty of probation in England and Wales, but in Scotland they are handled by social workers.

Put simply, they will do a risk assessment and make recomendations to the court, which may, or may not, include a tag or a curfew.
