Whilst some expressed cautious support for professional registration, there was also a high level of indifference - and in some cases resistance - among those we interviewed suggesting a need to articulate more clearly what the ambitions and outcomes of Professional Registration are for staff 2/3

A pleasure to welcome the Rehabilitating Probation team to Trinity College Dublin this week. Lots of plans for getting key messages from research out to different audiences @probationres.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social
