Conference report - Local futures for Probation: Research, policy & practice in Wales
The Local Futures for Probation Conference at the University of Swansea in March 2026 brought together perspectives on a local future for Probation in Wales. The event celebrated the retirement of Peter Raynor after a 50 year career championing and challenging the Probation Service across England and Wales.
There is progress towards a local future through a memorandum of understanding between the Senned and the UK Government to take forward proposals for devolving aspects of justice in Wales.
