NEW RESEARCH: Read our latest Academic Insight on supervision skills for probation practitioners by Peter Raynor commissioned by HM Inspectorate of Probation ow.ly/VkOQ50vOWbQ

Published by Ministry of Justice, an evidence-based summary of what works - and what doesn't - when trying to get someone to desist from crime. Worth a read if you work in the charity sector, the criminal justice system or the media (or indeed, if you happen to be running the country).

Sharing knowledge and experience, a positive learning environment. Thanks NPS East Midlands DSOU
