TPO Job Prospects
This year it look as if as many as 100 TPOs in Cohort 8 may not get PO jobs when they graduate in September as a result of the cash crisis facing the Service.
We have produced the attached briefing on the problem which I sent to Jack Straw and Helen Edwards today.
I am pressing Jack Straw to find the money to ensure that all TPOs can be employed. If they are not employed as POs they will get jobs elsewhere and their skills will be lost to the Service. It will be the equivalent of another “Howard” training gap.
Ministers are expecting the Probation Service to just get on with the extra work arising from ECL, when we are already at full capacity and when we have no say in the risk assessment of those released early from Prisons.
The least they can do is find the money for the Service to employ all its TPOs.
