A consultation on proposals for new qualifications for probation practitioners, to replace the Diploma in Probation Studies.
This consultation paper provides a chance for all who have an interest in the capability of the probation workforce to comment on proposals for the new framework.
The consultation was aimed at probation boards and trusts (as employers) and users of probation services in England and Wales, but anyone with an interest in the subject was welcome to respond.
