The proposed future model for probation

Clinks has published a briefing to summarise the key points from the government’s response to both the Strengthening probation, building confidence consultation and the recently published The Proposed Future Model for Probation: A Draft Operating Blueprint. From spring 2021, all offender management will become the responsibility of the National Probation Service. The briefing looks at the Ministry of Justice’s decision to reunify offender management, the timescales, the priorities, the future structure, who will be delivering services, procurement, funding and equalities.
