Welcome to the web site of the West Midlands Probation Area, part of the National Probation Service for England and Wales.
Since this site opened in May 2002, we have had thousands of visitors and hundreds of regular users. We aim to provide relevant information about how our work affects people here in the West Midlands, and keep you updated on a regular basis.
On this site you can read about how we work, the services we provide and the people we work with. You can download and read our latest publications, look at recent press releases or make requests under our new Freedom of Information Publication Scheme. You can also join the many subscribers to our careers service, and receive weekly e-mail updates on our latest vacancies.
Our local emphasis is strengthened by the West Midlands Probation Board, whose non-executive Members are drawn from a wide cross section of experience and community interest, one local Judge and the Chief Officer. Details of the Boards public meetings, agendas and minutes are all available in their section of the site.
With the announcement that the Probation and Prison Services are to become part of a new National Offender Management Service (NOMS), we face the biggest and most exciting challenges in our long history. We hope you will continue to visit this site so we can keep you updated on what this new future holds, and to seek your opinions on how we should proceed.
