…this is followed by an interview with Martin Jones CBE, HM’s Chief Inspector of Probation, on the state of probation services and hopes for lasting change that the research helps shed light on. @ljmuofficial.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social

In this third programme in the series, Matthew and Nicola return to share insights from the study and with hosts Phil and Paula explore - the impact of reform on probation staff; the power of long-term research; and what the Sentencing Review means for the future of the probation service…

Our article will feature as part of a rather excellent looking Special Issue of the Probation Journal. For more information, see our website rehabilitating-probation.org.uk @ljmuofficial.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social 3/3

Whilst some expressed cautious support for professional registration, there was also a high level of indifference - and in some cases resistance - among those we interviewed suggesting a need to articulate more clearly what the ambitions and outcomes of Professional Registration are for staff 2/3

Really great to see @harryannison.bsky.social and @matthew-millings.bsky.social represent the project and draw out key lessons from the experiences of probation insourcing that other sectors can learn from @unisouthampton.bsky.social @ljmuofficial.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social

In this publication we explore the importance of anchors through change in probation workers’ identities as they navigate organisations reforms. The values, places and structures are part of probation’s legacy but also offer continuity and meaning to workers as they adapt within a turbulent field.

@harryannison.bsky.social from the project will be part of an expert panel that will explore wider learning for policy and practice audiences alike from the insourcing of probation services. @ukri.org

Said project is now here too and getting used to its new surroundings 🙂
