Public Safety or Private Profit?

7:00 pm

Ian Lawrence General Secretary Napo
The
Government plans to outsource 70% of the Probation Service’s work to private
companies such as G4S and Serco. This will include supervision of
ALL Low and Medium Risk Offenders.
Probation
Trusts are not allowed to bid for their own work. We believe Justice
and public protection should not be about profit. It should be about
public safety, reducing reoffending, rehabilitation and preventing further
victims.
We
invite you to come along to this public meeting to hear more about these plans which
will affect communities, residents and business of Surrey and Sussex. There
will be ample opportunities for you to ask questions and share your own
views.
