"What is probations unique identity? Discuss - we are not police and search for understanding through which we endeavour to work with people to deter them from the path that led them to us in the first place..." 1/3

in previous National Audit Reports, @Napotheunion briefings Justice Committee Meetings currently being led by @hammersmithandy and what was investigated by the Public Accounts Committee none of this would not have been necessary.

I hope it doesn’t go unnoticed although I guess it will @labourpress @MoJGovUK @hmpps cant find any more money to reflect the true value of those that work across Probation but have put out to tender a contract worth £144 million @ProbationStorm to find Probation staff. 💜🙏🌈

A 6 year contract with MoJ is up for grabs for 'The Provision of Agency Operational Workers for the Probation Service' Single lot which carries a contract value of... wait for it.... £122,000,000 (One hundred and twenty two million pounds). #probation #MOJ #outsourcing #contract

Sounds like the voice of balance and reason. ProbationStorm confirms there is very real concern about the probation service. And no amount of sugar coating by MOJ media team can hide it any longer.

@MoJGovUK @hmpps Reading daily, genuine and well evidenced concerns expressed by the Public Accounts Committee , numerous well respected Justice Commentators on X. numerous @HMIProbation reports and a number of Academic reports these tweets are most misleading and just adds pressure on 1/2

Even though this @NAOorguk report runs to some 60 pages it is not at all a trudge to read. But if TL;DR then download and look at Figure 9, on pages 38-39. Very helpful in understanding how on earth the #probation service has arrived where it is today; pretty much on it's knees
National Audit Office@NAOorguk

Risks in the government’s plans to ease the Probation Service's workload must be actively managed to ensure it can rehabilitate offenders and protect the public, amid weak performance in the service. Watch the summary 👇 Our report: nao.org.uk/reports/buildi…

1/2 This week, we’re focusing on desistance. Desistance is the process of abstaining from crime by those with a previous pattern of offending. It is an ongoing process and often involves some false stops and starts.

Chair of @CommonsJustice @hammersmithandy draws the Justice Secretary's attention to Probation staff shortfall of 10,000 people. Mr. Lammy resorts to blaming "a botched privatisation that ruined such an incredible service" and says they will need to recruit more. #probation
PrisonStorm@PrisonStorm

Speaker: "Welcome. Congratulations." Lammy: "It's nice to be back on my old beat. I will answer the questions 1, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 16, 17 and 19." @DavidLammy at @HouseofCommons dispatch box on 16 Sept 2025 in his first Justice Questions since being appointed Justice Secretary.

The probation service affects everyone and if it isn't stable and functioning then public protection is put at risk. Probation staff deserve a pay rise #RespectProbationPayProbation
Napo the Union@Napotheunion

The government wants you to focus on prisons and policing. But it’s probation staff who are managing high-risk offenders in your community. Now they’re voting on whether to strike and who can blame them #respectprobation #Napo #PayProbation

They don’t wear uniforms. But they keep your community safe every single day. Probation staff are burned out, underpaid, and walking away. They are now being balloted on what the next move should be. 👉 Read why this crisis should matter to everyone napomagazine.org.uk/they-dont-wear…

"I recently read a paper on the journey of reintegration, probation, and community supervision. What stood out was how clearly it framed probation as something that comes after prison, not as an extension or part of prison." 1/4

Today we hosted a roundtable on property complaints in prisons to share learning from our latest Learning Lessons Bulletin with @hmpps Governors and Heads of Business Hubs. The useful discussion sparked conversation on some helpful changes that could improve the current system.
