Abstract
The UK government has announced its intention to abolish university-based professional education and training for probation officers in England and Wales, replacing this with ‘on-the-job’ training. The details of the proposal are considered, along with the nature and degree of opposition to it. The implications for probation-related research and for the future training of probation officers are analysed, and the progress of government attempts to curtail university-based professional education and training of teachers is reviewed. It is suggested that the probation service and the universities can learn valuable lessons from the experience of colleagues involved in initial teacher training.
