This seminar brought out latest thinking on the future of probation in England and Wales, and what more can be done to improve efficiency, effectiveness and public safety in the delivery of non-custodial offender management services.
It was scheduled to follow the transitional period for the sector brought about by Government’s Transforming Rehabilitation Programme in 2015, and follows reports by both the National Audit Office and Public Accounts Committee on progress made in establishing the new arrangements for probation.
Delegates had the opportunity to engage on key operational and resource challenges facing new providers, latest examples of best practice in delivering effective resettlement and rehabilitation, as well as remaining transitional issues facing the governance, oversight and scrutiny of services.
Speakers and other delegates were an informed group including Members of both Houses of Parliament, senior government officials involved in this area of public policy, together with stakeholders working across the criminal justice system - including representatives from CRCs, the National Probation Service, prisons, policing, local authorities, court services and health practitioners - alongside charities, social enterprises, private providers, commentators and academics, as well as members of the press.
