Abstract
Description
This chapter was written at a time of national expansion of the current training arrangements for probation officers (Diploma in Probation Studies) located within Higher Education. It mounts a defence of the work-based nature of the programme and its success in enabling trainee probation officers to integrate theory and practice and to develop their critical, reflective and anti-discriminatory thinking and practice.
The chapter makes a distinctive contribution to the current debate on the plans for a new national qualification framework for probation training, which hopefully will continue to be located within Higher Education.
