Following a meeting of Napo’s Probation Negotiating Committee (PNC), and discussions with the other recognised trade unions (Unison and GMB/SCOOP), a joint pay claim for our members in the Probation Service has been submitted to HMPPS for the 2026/27 pay year.
In submitting this claim the trade unions commit to work for our members to secure a realistic cost of living increase and address low pay in Probation, while continuing our campaign to make up the lost ground on comparable pay.
It has been agreed the claim will be supplemented by further detailed evidence, to be provided once the employer has shared detailed workforce and other data, which will also provide a key part of the union's joint approach to negotiations.
