This week, we are joined by Robin Moore, Head of Research at HM Inspectorate of Probation, and Tammie Burroughs, Community Sentence Management (CSM) Team, HM Prison and Probation Service!  Often times, it is not so much that the research does not exist, but rather, that we need to do a better job connecting the research to every day practice.  Robin and Tammie share their experience with this phenomenon, up to and including the great work they have done with the Academic Insights publication.    Check out the valuable links below to some of the research and resources cited in this episode!
