Details
This policy framework sets out the requirements and guidance for probation qualified staff around professional registration, probation professional registration standards and loss of authority to practice.
If you are employed in a role where there is an essential requirement to have the probation officer qualification as set out in your job description you are required to maintain and renew your registration.
The provisions around loss of authority to practice as a probation officer are mandatory, in so much as this policy framework replaces Probation Instruction 31/2014.
