Reflective practice is at the heart of probation training and the continuing professional development of practitioners. This edited collection provides practitioners with an opportunity to explore and develop their own reflective practice, considering diversity and organisational challenges, with real-world examples of reflection in the probation context.

In addition to probation specialists, its contributors include those from prison, third-sector organisations and mental health perspectives, to consider probation practice in different settings. Each chapter provides prompts for reflective development, so its ideas can be immediately applied in practice. It will equip the reader to develop their reflective practice skills, regardless of their level of experience.

Reviews for Reflections on Probation: A Companion Resource for Developing Practitioners

'This is not simply a text about reflective practice but an example in itself of reflective writing. The editors are to be congratulated for bringing together such an excellent and diverse group of contributions.' Stephen Collett, University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University 'Reflection is critical to probation practice. However, it is a less well-explored area of practice than other key concepts and so there is a need for a detailed and comprehensive look at what reflection in probation is, and how to do it. This book achieves just that. The chapters engage with the concept of reflective practice from a number of perspectives and with various groups of staff in mind. It will be invaluable reading to anyone currently working or training in the context of probation work.' Jake Phillips, University of Cambridge
