<p>We want a probation system which protects the public, commands the confidence of
the courts and reduces reoffending</p><p><br> We are taking decisive action to stabilise
and improve the delivery of probation services. We are ending current Community Rehabilitation
Company contracts early and investing £22m per year to enhance Through The Gate services.
We have introduced minimum standards so that all providers offer monthly face-to-face
meetings with offenders during the first 12 months of supervision.</p><p> </p><p>No
comparative assessment of “for-profit” and “not-for-profit” CRCs has been undertaken
by the Ministry of Justice.</p><p> </p><p>Robust assurance of Community Rehabilitation
Company (CRC) performance is provided through operational contract management backed
up by regular Operational Assurance audits, and Internal Audit activity as required.
There is regular monitoring of service delivery, including a focus on validating published
performance management information. CRC performance information showing services levels
against a range of measures is released quarterly as part of the Community Performance
Quarterly Management Information.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-performance-quarterly-mi-update-to-june-2017"
