This report provides statistics on PBNI caseload for the third quarter of the financial year, reflecting PBNI caseload at points in time at the end of December 2022. There are also comparators to data in previous years.
Statistics on the number of reports completed, the number of new orders made, and Probation's Victim Information Scheme registrations, are subject to change, particularly for the latest month. When revisions are necessary, the updates occur in each quarterly publication and considered final in the annual publication for the financial year. Percentages presented in this report are subject to rounding.
The data source for all tables and charts presented in this publication from April 2020 onwards is Probation's Electronic Case Management System (ECMS). Prior to this date, a different, but compatible case management system was in place. Although care is taken when processing and analysing data increases quality assurance, it is however, subject to inaccuracies inherent in an administrative manual data recording system.
The collation and production of PBNI statistics is by seconded statisticians from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). Statistical production is subject to a UK code of practice, the details of which are available at About the Code – Code of Practice for Statistics
