Thames Valley Probation

We work with people who have committed different types of offences such as burglary, violence, car crime and sex offences.

We provide probation supervision, offending behaviour programmes and specialist support services, which aim to stop people committing further offences.

Even though we are now a Trust, we will continue to be known as Thames Valley Probation
