The Justice Select Committee published its report following its eight month inquiry into Transforming Rehabilitation (TR). The report concludes that the committee “are unconvinced that the TR model can deliver an effective or viable probation service.”
The Committee make a series of recommendations including that the Ministry of Justice:
- publish more information on probation supply chains and considers what benefit might be gained from reintroducing targets for voluntary sector involvement;
- considers how to incentivise the involvement of smaller, more specialised voluntary sector organisations;
- and conducts a review into the long-term future and sustainability of delivering probation services under the models introduced by the TR reforms
