No cameras in interview rooms, no way of alerting anyone that you are in danger. This is NOT acceptable. Who is risk assessing the buildings where CRC staff are/will be working.

And that is the first I have seen since TR came in -(both by Indeed, -PO -Band 3- one Min of Justice and one NORTHUMBRIA PROBATION TRUST, (NPS) - I kid you not! One was £22039K a year, one £22039K an HOUR - honestly! And both jobs discussed having case loads, doing home and prison visits, in fact a bit of everything which field teams do- what a shambles.<br /><br />And there were no adverts in the press for Nbria for several years before I retired in 2011. When people left/retired, staff were just shuffled about - like Musical Chairs. Are they so well organised they don't need more staff? Or is no one leaving??(I know that is not true). Or are staff paddling under the surface faster than anyone elsewhere??!!!!!! Or are they just stepped over, when they die on the job??MLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-5239550196928036192014-11-26T21:10:44.149+00:002014-11-26T21:10:44.149+00:00Well said, but this makes too much sense for them....Well said, but this makes too much sense for them. Remember they are saving money bullshit. In addition all that rhetoric about the most experienced officers goes out of the window when they are now willing to take on TPO's without any experience.

If the BBC (Biased Broadcasting Company) fail to run with #Cameronmustgo, despite it trending for 3 days, something like this is not go to cause them concern. We have to face up to the facts that the Government effectively gagged this country and the 'sheeple' do nothing as long as they have X Factor etc. And now they are trying to control even more of our lives, via the medium of the internet, by making a big song and dance over some conversations (one of millions and millions) on Facebook which would probably have not saved anyone's life but gives them an excuse the further impose draconian powers. I had this conversation with my partner, who normally say's "if you've done nothing wrong you've nothing to fear (tell that to Charles De Menez) until I asked her if she would be happy with someone from the Government coming round to our house and reading our mail!<br /><br />I can see trouble brewing...maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.<br /><br />If not, then I may get arrested for the above sentence if the Tories have their way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-52811207186480453902014-11-26T19:01:53.049+00:002014-11-26T19:01:53.049+00:00It's always been grim up here, the Tories clos...It's always been grim up here, the Tories closing pits, shipyards and fishing has not helped.

Sorry, if this post focuses on Band 4s, as I know all in CRC may be impacted, but if their model does not include the same, or similar number Band 4 OMs, then why are MoJ recruiting new TPOs. The expense is doing this is not justified when there is likely to be a good number of current POs being made redundant (or managed out without redundancy) and out or work in a few months. Put the next cohort of TPO recruitment on hold until after April 2015 and allow CRC POs to transfer into the NPS without the loss of service and on the same pay scales. After all, we did the same job up until June 2014, we have years of experience in risk assessments/public protection and reducing re-offending and are proven in the role. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
