You may be on probation, but you still have rights.
If you are currently under the supervision of the National Probation Service (NPS) or have been in the past, you still retain fundamental rights as a UK citizen.
An actions against probation services claim is a legal action taken to seek financial compensation and justice from the National Probation Service, the Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC), or individual probation officers for their negligence or wrongdoing. This may involve seeking damages for unlawful detention, physical injury, mental distress, or other losses suffered due to a failure in their duty of care. Our expert legal representation focuses on holding the service accountable and securing the maximum compensation recovery possible for you.

We can help throughout England and Wales.
Unlawful Prison Recall: Being recalled to prison without a lawful reason or proper process.
Negligence Leading to Arrest/Detention: Failure to update probation records or issuing incorrect warrants/breach reports.
Wrongful Information: Errors or wrongful information entered onto probation or CRC databases that lead to loss or damage.
Wilful Negligence: Deliberate or reckless misconduct by a probation officer.
For minor or first-time violations, your probation officer may issue a warning and offer guidance to help you get back on track. In some cases, the violation may be considered a one-time mistake, and no further action will be taken.
The court or your probation officer may modify your conditions to address the specific violation. For example, they might add more restrictions or requirements, such as additional community service, counselling, or stricter reporting.
A common consequence for probation violations is the requirement to perform additional community service hours to make amends and demonstrate your commitment to rehabilitation.
You may be required to pay fines as a penalty for your probation violation.
If you violate probation, the court may increase the level of supervision. This could involve more frequent meetings with your probation officer, stricter monitoring, or more stringent conditions.
In some cases, you may be placed on house arrest or required to wear an electronic monitoring device, to ensure compliance with probation conditions.
For serious or repeated violations, the court may revoke your probation and order you to serve the original sentence, which could mean going to prison.
The court may decide to revoke your probation altogether, and you may be required to serve the remainder of your original sentence. This is often a last resort and typically happens when the court determines that probation is not an effective option for rehabilitation.

Compensation can help cover medical expenses, lost income, and the effects of pain or stress caused by the negligence of the probation service. It can also provide financial support while you recover. In these cases, you must start your claim within one year of the incident.
We make the process straightforward so that you can focus on your recovery.
No, a claim for negligence or wrongdoing is generally brought against the responsible public body, such as the National Probation Service or the Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC), not the individual officer.
In most actions against public bodies, there is a strict time limit of one year from the date of the incident or knowledge of the injury. It is critical to seek legal advice from actions against probation services solicitors immediately to ensure your claim is lodged in time.
Compensation can cover general damages (for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity, including mental distress), special damages (for financial losses like lost earnings), and exemplary damages in cases of severe misconduct.
Violating probation can lead to severe consequences, including a warning, modification of your probation conditions, additional community service, fines, increased supervision, house arrest, or ultimately, the revocation of your probation and a court order to serve the original sentence in prison.
We offer a no-win, no-fee agreement. This means you don’t pay a penny upfront. If we win, we take a success fee (typically 25%) from your compensation. Legal Aid is also available for eligible clients.
