Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many probation staff employed by the Community Rehabilitation Company in Wales have (a) been offered and (b) accepted the enhanced voluntary redundancy scheme since the start of financial year 2015-16.
Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) are not contractually required to report on staffing numbers. All CRCs are contractually required to maintain a professional and appropriately skilled workforce to deliver the services set out in their contracts. We robustly contract manage each CRC to make sure they fulfil their contractual commitment to maintain service delivery, reduce reoffending, protect the public and deliver value for money for taxpayers.
