	Valuing diversity

About us

The Midlands Consortium is one of nine such Consortia across England and Wales which works to deliver a range of training.

The Midlands Consortium is an association between the nine probation areas across the midlands.

Together with the 42 probation areas in England and Wales and the National Probation Directorate we form the National Probation Service for England and Wales. Roger Hill is the Director of Probation. Roger was formerly a Chief Officer and is a qualified Probation Officer.

An Executive Committee, comprising a Board Member from each of the Midlands Areas, oversees the work of the Midlands Consortium.
