Asked by: Fred Thomas (Labour - Plymouth Moor View)
Tuesday 11th February 2025

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many probation officers retired from the service in (a) 2010, (b) 2014, (c) 2019 and (d) 2023.

Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

The Ministry of Justice publishes data on the leaving reasons of probation officers in Table 14b of the quarterly “HM Prison and Probation Service workforce statistics” publication. The latest publication and tables, which covers the year to September 2024, are available here:

www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hm-prison-probation-service-workforce-quarterly-september-2024

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673de4672ff787d4e01b0886/hmpps-workforce-statistics-tables-sep-2024.ods

Data is only available since the National Probation Service was formed in June 2014, as a result of which the number who retired in 2010 is unavailable. The number of probation officers who retired in 2019 and 2023 is included in the above publication.

The number who retired in 2014 is available in the December 2015 publication available here: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-offender-management-service-workforce-statistics-december-2015

This only includes data for those who retired after the formation of the National Probation Service in 2014.
