<p /> <p>We recognise that this has been a time of great change for probation staff
and we have worked hard to ensure the probation workforce is effectively engaged and
morale maintained. Staff in the National Probation Service (NPS) and Community Rehabilitation
Companies (CRCs) were provided with significant support both during and after the
transition to the new probation structures. CRCs are now responsible for the welfare
of the staff they employ, and we are monitoring the system closely through a robust
contract management process, to ensure that performance levels are maintained.</p>
