London Probation Trust is the largest of the 35 probation trusts across England and Wales, employing nearly 3,000 staff across London.  

 

Our staff supervise 40,000 offenders at any one time, across 620 square miles of the capital’s 32 boroughs covering a population of 8.2 million people.

Nationally, the Probation Service and the Prison Service form the National Offender Management Service, which is the executive agency of the Ministry of Justice.

London Probation Trust’s role is to reduce reoffending and make London safer.  Together with other criminal justice agencies, such as the Police, Prisons and Courts, we protect the public.  Our skilled and experienced staff work directly with offenders to tackle the causes of their offending behaviour, enable them to turn their lives around and, where possible, rehabilitate them back into the community.
