no birthday present for graylinG4s
Information obtained by UNISON this morning suggests that the timetable for the split of probation staff into the NPS and CRCs has slipped until 1 June.
We understand that senior civil servants at the Ministry of Justice are unwilling to sign off the abolition of Trusts for 1 April, and have insisted that the government delay the split to 1 June. Presumably this is because of concerns among those civil servants that probation services, and public safety, would have been put at risk if the original timetable were to be followed.
