The Justice Committee is holding its third evidence session as
part of its inquiry into Transforming Rehabilitation on Tuesday
20 March 2018 at 10.00am in Committee Room 18, Palace of
Westminster.
Transforming Rehabilitation has attracted criticism since its
implementation, including in reports by the National Audit Office,
the Public Accounts
Committee, and by HM Chief Inspectors of Probation and
Prisons in reports on resettlement services for short term
prisoners and for prisoners serving 12
months or more.
The Justice Committee is seeking in its inquiry to find out what
needs to be done to improve the probation system.
This evidence session is expected to cover a number of issues
including:
- CRC contracts;
- Performance of
probation services;
- Support to
offenders, including activities available and through-the-Gate
services;
- Probation
staff; and
- Relations
between the NPS and CRCs.
