PBNI is featured by @BBCNewsNI today on the positive work carried out in local communities by #CommunityService. More than 70% of those supervised on Community Service do not go on to re-offend within one year. Learn more about Community Service at pbni.org.uk/community-serv…

Proud. United. Unmistakable. Probation members have spoken — and they have spoken with strength. For too long, a workforce that works tirelessly to protect the public has felt undervalued and taken for granted. Today, that ends with a clear, collective message 88.9% said No!

So proud of our members coming together 💪: Napo members resoundingly reject 2025-2026 derisory pay offer. . With a hugely impressive turnout of 83.46% of voting members, 88.97% voted to reject the offer with 11.03% voting to accept.

The probation service is teetering on the brink - @CommonsPAC report says staff are working under immense pressure in a seemingly toxic environment, in a culture built on emotional strain and trauma russellwebster.com/the-probation-…

🚨 New Napo survey findings 🚨 Our 2025 Cafcass Workload and TOIL Survey shows a dire situation: excessive hours, unpaid TOIL and unsafe caseloads remain widespread — and in some cases worse than before. 👉 napomagazine.org.uk/napo-cafcass-w…

I tweet every day to remind everyone that we need to #savenhsdentists in the UK thousands struggle to get NHS dentists, thousands can't afford private dentists, dentists have been privatised via the back door, please retweet, @wesstreeting @LucyMPowell

Probation: An Extension of the Prison? "But the latest expectation, that probation practitioners will function as security guards or de facto prison officers, is a profound and dangerous misstep." Guest blog on @jimbrownblog probationmatters.blogspot.com/2025/12/guest-…

#theknock Ordinary people in Extraordinary situations. Work has got too stressful. The kids are hard work. Where did my life go? I want relief from this life. I don't know how to relax. My head is going to explode. It's 2025, Alex eventually stops resisting looking at teenagers online. The 'boring' porn just isn't' doing it for them anymore. Alex is curious. The pop-ups keep reminding them it is there. They didn't intentionally set out to find it. It's difficult not to stumble over it. It's easy to get, it's free, it's on social media, and most of it is uploaded by teenagers themselves (mostly girls) from their bedrooms. Alex could be anyone. Your next door neighbour, your architect, your plumber, your manager, or even you. Don't judge people when you hear they got convicted for #childsexabusematerial they are not all pedophiles. The vast majority these days aren't. Looking at this material doesn't automatically mean you prefer children to adults. That is a Myth. More Information and Help: theknock.club

"If probation wants to survive as a profession grounded in humanity, rehabilitation and public protection, it must stop treating staff as disposable buffers for organisational risk. It must acknowledge the truth that practitioners already live every day..." 1/2
