Agencia can support Probation Trusts to examine how to maximise personal strengths and organisational capacity to maintain momentum, keep professional standards high and to enhance the concepts of a learning organisation that is equipped to draw on the collective energy and experience of its staff at all times. If these qualities are released, then personal and organisational planning can be significantly improved and the positive impact of change throughout a Trust will be realised.
Our approach includes creating space for Neighbourhood/Local Delivery Unit Teams to come together (and in a constructive manner) assess their present emotional/organisational capacity to face the future in light of the potential impact of Government reforms on the Probation Trust. Within this, we will:
• Build on the experience of other sectors e.g. Health/Central Government/Voluntary, Independent, Private Sector.
• Explore how to enhance organisational strengths and resilience.
• Explore how others see the Trust and managing relationships with partners /stakeholders in relation to the change process.

What Probation Trusts Say About Agencia
“There are real benefits in hearing how other parts of the public sector have embraced commissioning, and being challenged in our thinking. I appreciate what Agencia can offer as a sounding board as our Trust responds to the new commissioning environment for offender management.”
Pete Brown, Chief Probation Officer for York & North Yorkshire Probation Trust
"The seminar Agencia facilitated was helpful in assisting us to focus our thinking and I found their formal input on different commissioning models to be a good opener for us."Mike Maiden, Chief Executive, Staffordshire & West Midlands Probation Trust
