work from CRCs. In Cumbria, adapting probation to a rural setting and in London, working
with the Mayor’s Office on programmes to rehabilitate offenders involved in knife
crime.</p><p> </p><p>I still believe that public, private and voluntary organisations
all have a role to play. The reforms we are making are crucial to better integrate
the system so that different providers can work more effectively together. We will
