One National Probation Service
All probation services in England and Wales are to be brought back under public ownership and control, reversing the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) six-year programme to outsource delivery of large parts of probation operations in England and Wales.
The Transforming Rehabilitation programme, introduced in 2014 by then Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, outsourced the supervision of 150,000 low- and medium-risk offenders to 21 community rehabilitation companies (CRCs) owned by external providers. A new National Probation Service was established in 2015 to manage around 100,000 high-risk offenders.
