I think each probation area is different. They were each told to draw up an EDM(exceptional delivery model), basically a plan for how they are going to operate during the crisis. There will be differences between the plans, so no consistency. Some suggestions are that f2f will be replaced by phone contact. Also it has been suggested that high risk offenders will be visited by probation, and that the PO will not go into the pesons home, they will stand outside and then phone them. Presumably to verify they are in the house.

I'm due to see my PO for a f2f next week, so I'll see what they have to say.

mine have stopped all face to face contact for the last 2 weeks and only doing telephone appointments apart from those serious cases to quote the probation officer.

Anyone else getting probation appointments just now? I've got one next week which was made today so will be good to get out (although I could potentially spread the virus and kill some people down the line I suppose it's more important that my supervisor talks to me about how I annoyed people on the internet in 2016)
