Conclusion
The model of probation delivery has changed substantially in the weeks since the introduction of the UK lockdown, particularly the way in which case-management supervision is delivered. Additionally, other areas such as unpaid work and interventions have stopped. We recognise that these measures have been necessary, but we are concerned about increasing backlogs as a result of Covid-19—for example in unpaid work—and it is unclear how the Ministry and HMPPS intend to address these backlogs.
