Professional Judgement Pilot
In our report Hitting The
Target, Missing The Point we argue for probation to be freed
from the over-regulation that has stifled effective practice for so

Trust Chair John Steele spoke about the pilot in the Autumn 2010
edition of our Interface
magazine. Find out more in the following video:
