Staffordshire Probation Board has developed a vision for where it seeks to be in the future, this is :

To be recognised nationally and locally as a leading probation area for both quality and performance.

The values of Staffordshire Probation Board are a belief in :

treating people fairly and with respect ;
valuing and enabling diversity ;
the capacity of people to change ;
an uncompromising stance against harm caused by crime ;
organisational excellence.

Consisting of 10 non-executive members, the Board’s purpose is to ensure that the Area delivers the aims and objectives of the National Director of Probation and the Minister of Justice.

The Board also provides a voice for the local community in the running of the National Probation Service in Staffordshire.

As the employer of over 500 staff, the Board must maintain and deliver against an annual plan which follows national objectives and is supported by a nationally agreed budget.

The Chairman and members of the Board are drawn from a wide cross section of the community.

Board meetings are open to the public.
