I note that you work with the harder-to-work-with offenders and people with little or no motivation to change. It is not simply a case of people who come to you. You have a relationship with the Probation Service and you identify people who are especially difficult to work with and who have a low motivation. This is even more challenging. As you have noted, these people can often slip through the system and be back and forth from prison. That is a real challenge.
