UNISON has backed a call for probation services in England and
Wales to be brought back into public ownership.
The
launch of a petition by campaign group We Own It comes shortly after a joint
letter on the issue from UNISON, GMB and probation officers’ union NAPO was
sent to justice secretary David Gauke.
That,
in turn, followed the collapse of one of the ‘community rehabilitation
companies’ which have took over probation services for ‘non-serious’ offenders
under former justice secretary Chris Grayling’s privatisation in 2015.
There’s
a petition to sign in favour of renationalisation. It can be signed after
following the link below.
