Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many safety officers are employed by probation trusts to help (a) female and (b) male victims of domestic violence.

The information requested is not available as it was not collected centrally from the probation trusts. Probation trusts ceased to provide probation services from midnight on 31^st May 2014.

National Probation Service (NPS) and Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) commenced operations on 1^st June 2014.

Information on staffing levels at Probation Trust level was published in the Quarterly Probation Service Workforce Information reports. The link to the reports on GOV.UK is provided below:
