The Ministry of Justice probation review events – final places remaining
12th February, Bristol | 13th February, York | 14th February, London
As part of the Ministry of Justice’s probation reform programme it is seeking to continue its engagement with the voluntary sector. Clinks is supporting the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) by hosting three market warming events, designed to provide more information on the design of future probation services ahead of any formal competition. They will cover the MoJ's current thinking on the shape of future probation services, services for vulnerable cohorts, quality measures and commercial processes. In particular the events will focus on the potential role for the voluntary sector.
Make sure your organisation is prepared for these changes
- Register for Clinks' probation review events in February.
These events are specifically for the voluntary sector to hear more about the MoJ’s final plans. These are the final remaining places, so book now if you want to attend.
- Register your organisation on Clinks' directories.
The MoJ plans to signpost prime bidders to Clinks’ directories of voluntary sector organisations working in the criminal justice system in order to identify potential supply chain partners. If you are interested in being involved in supply chains for the delivery of the new probation contracts make sure your organisation is registered and your details are up to date.

Wales
Please note that the information above relates to England only. HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) Wales is progressing plans for an alternative delivery model with the National Probation Service in Wales assuming responsibility for the management of all people – high, medium and low-risk of offending – so that advice to court, risk and need assessments, sentence planning and managing enforcement and recall will all sit within a single organisation. They are currently considering three approaches to commissioning which are set out in this presentation. HMPPS Wales plans to launch the competition in the first half of 2019 but it will likely be slightly later than in England and their preferred approach will be shared prior to this.
