A probation unit in Greater Manchester has only half the number of officers they need, as concerns were raised about its ability to keep people safe from harm.
Three services in the region have recently been inspected by HM Inspectorate of Probation, with inspectors concluding that all three units 'require improvement.'
They cited a substantial lack of resources, domestic abuse risks not being properly managed, and unmanageable staff workloads as the primary concerns, when inspecting the probation units in North Manchester, Tameside and Wigan.
