Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) play a crucial role in delivering probation services. We have amended CRC contracts to reflect more accurately the fixed costs of delivering services to offenders.

I laid a Written Ministerial Statement and published an open letter on 19 July 2017 which outlined these activities and reaffirmed our commitment to delivering high quality probation services.

We closely monitor and robustly manage CRCs to make sure they fulfil their contractual commitments. Data on CRC performance against service levels is published quarterly, with the latest data published in July: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-performance-quarterly-and-annual-2016-to-2017. The first set of final reoffending data for offenders supervised by CRCs will be published in October 2017; thereafter data will be published quarterly.
