I view probation work as a vocation, and something which I am proud to tell people I do. This has at times felt strained, due to changes in the core work resulting from political agendas; change in employer and etc. Despite all of this, I have a strong wish to keep m focus on helping and supporting those who need it; wholeheartedly and without judgement. I believe that with the right support, at the right time, and the right set of circumstances/opportunity, everyone is capable of change.  Applying this to probation work means more fulfilling lives for the people we work with, and fewer victims of crime. All in all, my motivations are quite selfish. After all, who wants to go to a job every day and feel like they may as well have stayed in bed?

For me, the values that underpin my work are that we are non-judgmental without being overly sympathetic. It is about treating offenders with dignity and supporting them to make pro-social changes, however also being firm and fair in terms of enforcement and the consequences of not complying and continuing to offend. It is about delivering the overall message that offending will not be tolerated but that there is support to make changes to ultimately avoid this. A key value is also having the victim’s needs ever present in the mind, including victims who are non-compliant (particularly DV). Being creative to support people is also a value, in that “not one size fits all” in terms of approach.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to feel as if I’ve made a change/impact in someone’s life. Ideally this would be within the offenders, but if not, allowing a victim to feel supported and protected is also a positive outcome. I have seen so many people who have spent wasted time in custody/under probation, when they could be so much more than what they have been labelled. Most offenders are intelligent or skilled and you usually end up liking them despite their offending!  We get to know the person at the heart of the offending and most people aren’t bad to the core! Also to feel proud of the work I do and to know I do an interesting job! Life would be boring sat behind a desk all day, I get paid to talk to people!

# data[].attributes.body
I am accountable for the work I do and for safeguarding. We can’t be held accountable for every action/offence that our service users undertake, however I am accountable for what decisions I make/action I take in response to their behaviour, or prior to their behaviour to avoid harm!  At the heart of this is safeguarding and duty of care.

The values that underpin working in probation for me is that all service users are human beings, someone's son/daughter brother/sister etc and should be treated with dignity, everyone makes mistakes in life, they don't have to define the rest of it if they as a person make a choice to make a change. Another value is that we shouldn't lose sight of the victim, what impact an offence has had on them, and whilst being compassionate and emphatic would you be comfortable explaining the practice you're displaying to a victim as a way of rehabilitating a person.

For me the artefacts of probation are the worksheets handed down by colleagues - some useful some not so much, usually in a massive folder as a right of passage as you start to complete structured / meaningful work with service users

The moment when you're working with a service user and you can see they're understanding the work they're completing and not just paying lip service, there's usually a look, they might not take it on board that week, month or year but you know something has struck a chord with them and it could be the beginning of them making a choice to change
