Unions in Wales press for crisis-hit probation and youth justice services to be devolved
FIVE public-sector unions in Wales have called on the two candidates for the post of First Minister to commit to pressing for crisis-hit probation and youth justice services to be devolved.
The GMB, probation officers’ union Napo, PCS, Unison and lecturers’ union UCU said “botched” Westminster reforms had left the services in Wales in crisis.
They demanded Vaughan Gething and Jeremy Miles, who are both candidates to replace First Minister Mark Drakeford, commit to action.
