Napo Campaigns

Napo is a campaigning union and is a member of three cross party parliamentary groups.  During the course of any one year, Napo tables hundreds of parliamentary questions, holds numerous meetings with MPs of all parties and publishes advice on legislation.

Napo promotes the professional values of Probation and Cafcass in negotiations with employers and government and defends the professional integrity of its members, for example, against misinformation in the press.

Napo's current campaigning priorities are: fighting government cuts to the Justice Sector and the privatisation and fragmentation of the Probation Service arising from the government's agenda of dismantling the public sector and highlighting the bureaucracy and workload problems faced by our members working in both Probation and Cafcass.
