Proposals to transfer probation services to the private sector are "dangerously misguided" and threaten public safety.
Two unions, the National Association of Probation Officers and Unison, have attacked plans for lower-risk offenders to be supervised by private firms and charities. They'll be paid on the results they achieve.
But former burglar Steve Catell - who's now a Christian - tells Premier he fully supports the changes the government is planning:
Your gift today ensures that Premier Christian News can press forward in strength, reaching more people with biblical truth and shaping the future of Christian thought. It’s more than just a donation—it’s an investment in renewed minds and transformed lives.
Without continued support, the ability to create and distribute resources that strengthen faith and equip the church will be compromised. But with your help, we can grow deeper, stand firmer, and shine brighter in the culture.
Your support today is critical.
