Transforming Rehabilitation consultation

Ministry of Justice has released a new consultation document on the future of the Probation Service and offender supervision in England and Wales. This briefing summarises the key proposals in the new consultation document, including national commissioning of offender supervision across 16 contract package areas, contracting out the supervision of low to medium risk offenders to private and voluntary sector providers, the extension of payment by results in this area of the criminal justice system, and the restructuring of existing Probation Trusts.
