Probation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, Pursuant to the Answer of 7 November to Question 110305, if he will the place a copy in the Library of the recent internal review into the probation system.

Answer

Our review examined the operation of the probation system, with a particular focus on the performance and services of CRCs and the operation of contractual arrangements. As such, much of the work is commercially sensitive and not intended or suitable for publication.

As a result of this work we made changes to CRC contracts in the summer, and at this time I took the opportunity to update Parliament in a written ministerial statement.

We closely monitor the performance of probation services and will take further steps if needed to improve delivery.
