The service in Sheffield faces high vacancy and sickness rates and 'must improve', inspectors say.
The city's probation services, overseen by the Ministry of Justice, must better protect victims of crime, inspectors saySheffield's probation service has been rated as "inadequate" following an inspection earlier this year.
It faced "high vacancy and sickness rates, unmanageable caseloads and staff leaving", said Chief Inspector of Probation Justin Russell.Mr Russell said the probation service in Sheffield had to do better in order to "ensure the risk of harm people on probation may pose is properly assessed, for the protection of victims, potential victims and the local community".
His Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation said it had found senior probation officers in Sheffield were not routinely monitoring how people on probation were being managed by their teams and had "little insight into whether the quality of work being carried out was being successful". Mr Russell had called on senior leaders at the service to provide "a clear vision" for returning the service to "an acceptable level of service, for the benefit of all concerned".
