Actions against the Probation Service

As the Probation Services actions may result in your being detain or imprison, or prosecuted, we may be able to help you in your complaint or claim.

However, we cannot assist in the following matters unless these are serious wrongdoings or abuse of power:-

• • Property intentionally lost/destroyed
• • Sexual assault
• • Significant breach of Human Rights
• • Serious wrongdoing
• • False imprisonment
• • Serious abuse of power or position
• • Interference with goods
• • Wrongful arrest
• • Personal injury
• • Trespass to property/land
• • A loved one has died in custody

Funding

Legal Aid

Legal Aid is available in the form of Legal Help if you are on certain benefits such as Income Support; Income-Based Jobseekers Allowance or Guaranteed Credit.

If you are not on these benefits then it is means tested, for more information please contact us.

However, Legal Help can only cover initial work under the Legal Services Commission (LSC) Advice & Assistance Scheme and it is limited to a few hours worth of work.

If we are to proceed further to Court proceedings, then we need to apply either for an Investigative Help Certificate or a Full Representation Certificate. For more information, please contact us, as there are a lot of complex means and merits requirements that have been placed by the Legal Services Commission (LSC).

CFA (Conditional Fee Arrangement)

We are sorry but we are not able to provide any CFA funding for any Actions against the Probation Service cases.

Private Paying

We may be able to take your case on a private paying basis. For more information please contact us.
