The probation service is changing on 26 June
Our work is transferring into the publicly-run probation service.
From 26 June 2021, the new probation service will be responsible for managing all those on a community order or licence following their release from prison in England and Wales.
The new probation service will also deliver unpaid work and behavioural change programmes in England and Wales.
Specialist organisations will continue to play a role in the probation system, delivering resettlement and rehabilitative services such as education, training and employment and accommodation.
There will be 12 probation areas across England and Wales, introducing 11 new probation areas in England, with existing arrangements remaining unchanged in Wales. Northumbria CRC will be part of the new North East region.

About us
We manage individuals convicted of crimes such as shoplifting, burglary, harassment, motoring offences and domestic abuse who are assessed as low or medium risk of harm.
We make sure they complete their sentence and any requirements given to them by the court such as unpaid work, a behaviour programme or a curfew. We also help them to create a more secure lifestyle which could mean looking for work, moving to a different area or tackling an addiction.
Our role involves working closely with a range of partners such as the National Probation Service (which manages individuals assessed as high risk of harm), the courts, prison service, police, local authorities, health service and community-based organisations.
Ultimately, we focus on creating a positive future for service users, victims and their families, communities, partners and staff.
Our purpose: To reduce reoffending and risk of harm, and improve the quality of life of those under our supervision and care.
