Re Working Links:
The @HMIProbation Chief Inspector’s report on Dorset, Devon and Cornwall CRC lays bare its unacceptably poor performance and we will work closely with the new provider to urgently raise standards.

Re Working Links:
We were aware of Working Links’ financial situation and have taken action to ensure continuity of probation services.
That means probation officers will continue to be supported, offenders will be supervised, and the public will be protected.

We’re going back to basics.
Clean, decent & calm environments can help improve prisoners’ chances of turning their lives around. That's why we're:
🛏️ introducing damage-proof furniture
🚿 fixing broken showers
🚽 installing toilet privacy screens

We’re investing in our prison staff's skills & training to give them more support.
For example, Standards Coaching Teams, made up of 60 elite prison officers, will be at the 10 prisons to help raise standards & consistency.

In the 10 prisons:
- drug use & violence cause persistent problems
- many rooms & facilities are broken, outdated or dirty
- staff would welcome more resources & support
But we're making progress.

Today we have confirmed plans to extend our step-in at HMP Birmingham until the summer.
We are confident that action taken has brought signs of improvement, but removing support now risks jeopardising progress.

Upskirting is not trivial.
Or fun.
Or acceptable.
If you take pictures under someone's clothes, without their permission, you'll face:
➡️A criminal record
➡️ Time in prison
➡️ Being placed on the sex offenders register

What you choose to wear - a skirt, shorts or anything else - should be worn confidently.
You shouldn’t be afraid that pictures will be taken under your clothes, without your permission.
The #UpskirtingLaw will help stop upskirting:
