<p>The Ministry of Justice publishes statistics showing the total caseload of the
probation service (the National Probation Service (NPS) and the 21 Community Rehabilitation
Companies) and also staff in post in the NPS. Figures for total probation caseload
are published quarterly in the Offender Management Statistics Bulletin, England and
Wales:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly"

</p><p> </p><p>Figures for NPS staff in post are also published quarterly, in the
National Offender Management Service Workforce Statistics Bulletin:</p><p> </p><p><a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-offender-management-service-workforce-statistics"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-offender-management-service-workforce-statistics</a></p><p>
</p><p>Figures on the average caseload of probation officers are not collected centrally.
Individual probation officer caseloads across the NPS are, however, carefully monitored
by experienced managers. We have also developed a Workload Management Tool to assist
National Probation Service Divisions with the process of allocating cases appropriately
between staff.</p><p> </p>
