How do u all find the probation officer in your case.. my sons is less than useless, he is absolutely hopeless. My son asks him questions and the only reply he gets is"i dont know,ill have to ask my boss" on returning to the next appointment he still doesnt have answers to the previous weeks questions, or the weeks before. How are these supposed to help if they cant answer simple questions... x

I haven't met my husband's probation officer yet but he has had the same response to some questions hes asked. If its something important he will need to keep asking for the answer or ask to speak to/email the boss. I find now hes through the system there is little advice or help, if you have never been in trouble before its all very confusing. I can see how some people end up in more trouble, we are proactive in pressing for information and finding out what needs to be done but if your not like that I can see how things could just end up worse.

Hi, my husband's probation officer is brilliant. If we have any questions he answers them, he is very encouraging as well.
