Wales Community Rehabilitation Company (also known as Wales CRC) was formed on 1 June 2014 at the same time as the National Probation Service in England and Wales.
Formerly part of the Wales Probation Trust, it is a law enforcement agency that works alongside the National Probation Service (NPS). It is one of 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies across England and Wales. The Wales CRC's role is to manage low to medium risk offenders under probation supervision alongside the National Probation Service, which manages offenders who have been assessed as presenting high risk of harm to others.
The Wales CRC works with offenders by managing their community sentences and giving them the knowledge, skills and support to enable them to stop offending. This includes specialist recovery and rehabilitation programmes, community payback unpaid work, education, training and employment, mentoring and working with families of offenders.
Wales CRC is now owned by Working Links, a public, private, voluntary company committed to helping people change their lives for the better. Working Links works in partnership with Innovation Wessex, a mutual community interest company made up of former probation trust workers.
