"The research found that probation staff largely followed the guidance, but that there was some inconsistency. Supervision and backup arrangements were not always in evidence, owing to limited resources and high caseloads. The existing guidance needs to be built on, ideally to provide national guidelines focusing on the period before sentencing, during custody and around the release time."
