The Probation Service (PS) is committed to providing a quality service in order to achieve its mission of protecting the public, supporting victims and reducing reoffending. While we are working towards a full complement of staff, it is essential that we have appropriate measures in place to ensure resources are available to match the workload demands. We are about to launch a new workload management tool which will provide clarity over how we; understand workload, prioritise work, make decisions that change delivery expectations and optimise the resource.
