Details
Since the introduction of the Offender Rehabilitation Act (ORA), the National Probation Service (NPS) and Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) have been monitored against performance frameworks to make sure their delivery of services is timely, consistent and of high quality.
Since March 2016, Electronic Monitoring Services (EMS) have been monitored against a national performance framework for the same purpose.
These performance frameworks are published on a regular basis in this release. The publication covers all performance metrics from the three frameworks, at a national level and broken down to lower levels of geography where appropriate.
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, data presented in this publication for the CRCs and NPS is Management Information, and do not align with performance or delivery expectations for the year 2020-21.
Following the completed consultation period, the release schedule for this publication has moved to an annual cycle. The contents and structure of the publication have not changed and the additional tables on accommodation and employment circumstances continue to be included.
From June 2021, the current performance frameworks for probation came to an end. Our intention from this point onward is to produce a re-designed publication to better fit the new performance monitoring arrangements that will be in place under the Unified Probation Model.
