Published date:
The Probation Board for Northern Ireland’s (PBNI) Draft Corporate Plan 2026-29 is now open for public consultation.
The consultation is open from Monday 22 September 2025 and will close on Friday 12 December 2025.
The consultation will be open for 12 weeks and during that time we hope to hear from partners, interested parties, staff, trade union representatives, and service users about whether the strategic priorities adequately reflect the future direction of the organisation.
The strategic priorities that we have identified are:
- Develop the quality of our practice and delivery of core statutory functions, taking account of best practice
- Develop our practice, systems and processes in response to emerging needs and priorities
- Empower our people, develop our organisational culture and lead a trauma informed approach.
- Enhance External Relationships and Partnerships.
The environment in which our staff operate is not an easy one. Working with people who have committed crimes that have caused harm to individuals and communities is a difficult job. Supporting people to change and holding them to account takes a particular set of skills and values, including believing that people have the capacity to change.
We look forward to your feedback and views in respect of our future strategic direction.
Consultation Open: 22 September 2025
Consultation closes: 12 December 2025
