“Today’s announcement will raise the standard of probation supervision and will, in turn, improve the individual’s prospects of rehabilitation and better protect the public.

“Delivered well, these changes can make such a difference to the lives of those under probation supervision – about a quarter of a million people each year – and their families and wider society will benefit as well. I am delighted.”

Dame Glenys Stacey, HM Chief Inspector of Probation
