Budget crisis
Probation areas have been receiving letters from the outgoing Director of Probation setting out likely budget cuts for the next 3 years. Cuts in the existing budget of £20 million, £50 million and £50 million in consecutive years from the current £914 million are a recipe for complete disaster.
I would like to give you a link to this but can't as no one from the MoJ or employers has been in touch with us about this latest communique.
We are contacting branches seeking local information and will be going to the Minister for answers.
If you are sceptical about the relevance of Justice Week to the future of the Probation Service now would be a good time to change your mind.
