• W1569490263 abstract "I joined the Probation Service relatively early in my career. I had worked as a researcher on a number of prison-based projects and then took up a temporary post as a Research Assistant in Greater Manchester Probation Area, joining a recently established research team. Twelve years later and I'm still here, just. A culture of reflective practice What I remember most about my early months in the service was the extent to which practice staff of all grades were engaging with research and evidence. This took me by surprise. There were all sorts of opportunities to be drawn into thoughtful debate about the work staff were doing, the 'position' of their clients in society, the local community context, and how they could examine the positive impact of their work. This could be in a formal meeting or in a staff room, or over coffee on a training day. I came to learn that this was a defining feature of the Probation Service--a commitment to reflective practice. Some examples of the reflective practitioner are very visible, they are collective and marked by a process of piloting a new approach or intervention. Many of these have been documented in the research and evaluation undertaken within our organisation, or by academic institutions: for example, the development of a women's programme and wider network of women's centres, or an alternative to custody for young men (Clarke, 2004; Clarke et al, 2012). In many such examples, the innovation and reflective approach has been engendered in partnership with staff from other organisations and sectors. However, there is also 'one to one' practice--the day to day decision making about how to balance the task of risk management with work to support 'rehabilitation'--decisions to enforce the order of the court with a desire to motivate and engage the individual. This practice is underpinned by a value base, one which is conducive to reflection upon how we should respond to particular groups or individuals on probation. In reality, things have been continually changing over the last decade--the impact of 'new managerialism' on Probation and other public sector organisations has been well documented (Burke and Collett, 2010). The consequence has been that these qualities have not been valued as they once were. There are of course practitioners who continue to 'flex' their reflective muscles and drive pockets of innovation. However, on the whole staff of all grades have struggled to retain this characteristic to their work. Time previously spent engaging with evidence to inform their practice, or in collective efforts such as 'cross grade working groups', has in recent years been spent learning manuals and attending training on prescribed tools or processes (such as the Offender Assessment System or the National Offender Management Model). The existence of libraries and / or research teams within Probation Areas was another signifier of the commitment of the service to reflective practice. These have also all but disappeared in recent years. Only very recently with the potential for increased professional judgement and an exploration of the potential format and content of 'activity requirements', has there been some attempt to return to a culture of reflective practice. Similarly, we have recently seen national policy and evidence follow that of local 'bottom up' approaches, picking up on the evidence from literature on desistance from crime (McNeill, 2006; McNeill and Weaver, 2012). Unfortunately, it may be too little too late. Reflective practice in the context of Transforming Rehabilitation rhetoric versus reality Whilst the government's rhetoric would suggest that the Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) agenda will allow greater freedoms for staff to discover and 'do' 'what works', the reality is that the TR programme may catapult us back in the previous direction. In other words to the end of a spectrum that places the main emphasis on the process--the 'leanest' process delivered by the cheapest staff. …" @default.
