Probation is about supervising convicted offenders in the community - those subject to a court order and those released on licence from prison. Our priorities are to reduce reoffending and protect the public.
At any one time, the National Probation Service for England and Wales, is supervising around 200,000 adult offenders in the community, of whom 90 per cent are men and about 9 per cent from ethnic minorities. It has approximately 21,000 staff working throughout England and Wales. Staff who work with offenders are highly trained professionals.
