My sons probation officer is less than useless.. my question.. can he change his probation officer? How does he go about this? He asks him questions ie.how many unpaid hrs have i done now?simple question... prob officer doesnt know.. can i do this.. can i do that??prob officer doesnt know.. .. its bordering on ridiculous.. ive told my son he should have it all wrote down so that He knows.. i know prob are in short supply but this officer should have the answers to basic questions..

Sorry I dont know if you can change probation officers. Maybe he should discuss with him that is causing him stress and upset that he feels his questions are not being answered. For my partner its soneone different who does the unpaid hours not the probation officer and he has a card that how many hours he needs to do and how many are left. Everytime he does unpaid work it should be signed off and any work he does with his probation officer should be recorded. Perhaps he should start his own diary of how often he attends. If there are other issues with the probation officer then it's worth finding out if he can change but otherwise I think he should just tell him hes struggling to understand what he needs to do and what hours are left and he needs more support.
Hi maria.. yes his unpaid work is with someone else. Theres 4 over seeing but none have an answer to how many hrs worked or owed.. .. thanks hun x
