A probation trust has power to do anything (including acquiring and disposing of property and accepting gifts) which appears to it to facilitate, or to be conducive or incidental to— But a probation trust— Approval under sub-paragraph (2)(b) may be general or specific. In this paragraph “enactment” includes subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978 (c. 30)).
A probation trust is not to be regarded as the servant or agent of the Crown or as enjoying any status, privilege or immunity of the Crown (and, accordingly, its property is not to be regarded as property of, or property held on behalf of, the Crown).
A probation trust shall consist of— In the following provisions “appointed member” means a member of a probation trust appointed by the Secretary of State under sub-paragraph (1)(a) (including the chairman, where the context allows). Where practicable, at least one of the appointed members of a probation trust must, when appointed, be a member of a relevant local authority. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) “relevant local authority” means—
In section 19 of the Prison Act 1952 (right of justices to visit prison), in subsection (3) for “visiting committee or the board of visitors” there is substituted “ independent monitoring board ”.
If a person who holds office as chief officer of a local probation board is appointed as chief executive of a probation trust, his period of Crown employment in that office (including any period mentioned in section 22(2) of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 (c. 43) for former chief probation officers) counts as a period of employment with the probation trust. In this paragraph “Crown employment” means the employment in which the chief executive of a local probation board was, by virtue of paragraph 3(5) of Schedule 1 to that Act, treated as being employed for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (c. 18).
If section 59 of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 (abolition of remand centres) has not come into force (or fully into force) before the coming into force of paragraph 18(2) of Schedule 3, that paragraph has effect until section 59 of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 comes into force (or comes fully into force) as if after “prison” (in the second place it occurs) there were inserted “, remand centre”.
An appointed member holds and vacates office (and may be removed from office) in accordance with the terms of his appointment. An appointed member may resign by giving notice in writing to the Secretary of State.
“suspended sentence order” has the meaning given by section 286 of the Sentencing Code;
The Secretary of State shall— If the Secretary of State determines that there are special circumstances that make it right for a person ceasing to hold office as an appointed member (otherwise than on the expiration of his term of office) to receive compensation, the Secretary of State may pay an amount of compensation determined by him to that person.
“psychoactive substance” has the same meaning as in the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 (see section 2 of that Act);

Sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to— if the Secretary of State directs that the first chief executive is to be a person appointed by the Secretary of State on terms determined by the Secretary of State.
A probation trust must— The Comptroller and Auditor General may examine any accounts of a probation trust, any records relating to the accounts and any auditor’s report on them.

The Secretary of State may make a scheme (“the scheme”) providing for— The scheme may— Any property or liability that is the subject of the scheme is, by virtue of this paragraph, transferred at the time appointed by or under the scheme. A certificate issued by the Secretary of State that any property or liability has, or has not, been transferred by virtue of the scheme is conclusive evidence of the transfer or the fact that it has not been transferred (as the case may be).
A probation trust may appoint such employees (in addition to the chief executive) as it thinks appropriate. The terms of employment of employees so appointed are for the trust to determine.
This paragraph applies where a property transfer scheme is made. The scheme has effect despite any provision, of whatever nature, which would otherwise prevent, penalise or restrict the transfer of anything that is the subject of the scheme. A right of pre-emption, right of reverter or other similar right shall not operate or become exercisable as a result of any transfer of property by virtue of the scheme (but shall have effect after the transfer as if the transferee and the transferor were the same person and no transfer had taken place). Such compensation as is just is to be paid to any person in respect of any right which would, apart from sub-paragraph (3), have operated in favour of, or become exercisable by, that person but which (in consequence of that sub-paragraph), cannot subsequently operate in his favour or become exercisable by him. Any such compensation is to be paid by the transferor, by the transferee or by both. The scheme may provide for the determination of disputes as to whether and, if so, how much compensation is to be paid and as to the person by whom or to whom it is to be paid. This paragraph applies in relation to the creation of rights or interests, or the doing of anything else, in relation to property as it applies in relation to a transfer of property (and references to the transferor and transferee are to be read accordingly).
The determination of terms of employment under paragraph 6(2) or 7(2) relating to— requires the approval of the Secretary of State.
remuneration, fees or expenses, and
pensions, allowances or gratuities,
Anything done by or in relation to the transferor for the purposes of or in connection with anything transferred by a property transfer scheme which is in effect immediately before the transfer is to be treated as if done by or in relation to the transferee. There may be continued by or in relation to the transferee anything (including legal proceedings) relating to anything so transferred which is in the process of being done by or in relation to the transferor immediately before it is transferred. A reference to the transferor in any document relating to anything so transferred is to be taken (so far as necessary for the purposes of or in consequence of the transfer) as a reference to the transferee. References in this paragraph to things done or being done by or in relation to the transferor include a reference to things treated by virtue of any Act or subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978 (c. 30)) as done or being done by or in relation to the transferor.

This paragraph applies to an employee of a probation board or a relevant person who is to be transferred to a relevant person by virtue of a staff transfer scheme. The contract of employment is not terminated by the transfer and has effect from the date of transfer as if originally made between the employee and the transferee. Where the employee is transferred under the scheme— This sub-paragraph does not prejudice the generality of sub-paragraph (2). But if the employee informs the transferor or the transferee that he objects to the transfer— The employee is not to be treated, for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (c. 18), as having been dismissed by the transferor by reason of— In this paragraph “transferor” and “transferee” refer to the employer from whom or to whom the employee is or would be transferred under the scheme.
This paragraph applies where an employee of a probation board or a relevant person is to become employed in the civil service of the state by virtue of a staff transfer scheme. The employee's period of employment with the transferor counts as a period of employment in his Crown employment and the change of employment does not break the continuity of that employment. So far as may be consistent with employment in the civil service of the state, the terms and conditions of his employment have effect after the transfer as if they were terms and conditions of his Crown employment. Where the employee is transferred under the scheme— This sub-paragraph does not prejudice the generality of sub-paragraphs (2) and (3). But if the employee informs the transferor or the Secretary of State that he objects to the transfer— The employee is not to be treated, for the purposes of Part 9 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, as having been dismissed by reason of— In this paragraph “transferor” refers to the employer from whom the employee is or would be transferred under the scheme.
This paragraph applies to an individual who is to be transferred from employment in the civil service of the state so as to become an employee of a relevant person by virtue of a staff transfer scheme. The individual's employment is not terminated by the transfer. The terms and conditions of the individual's Crown employment (so far as consistent with employment under a contract of employment with a person other than the Crown) have effect from the date of transfer as the terms and conditions of a contract of employment originally made between the individual and the transferee. Where the individual is transferred under the scheme— This sub-paragraph does not prejudice the generality of sub-paragraphs (2) and (3). But if the individual informs the Secretary of State or the transferee that he objects to the transfer— For the purposes of Part 9 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the individual is not to be regarded as having been dismissed by reason of— In this paragraph “transferee” refers to the employer to whom the person is or would be transferred under the scheme.
Nothing in this Schedule prejudices any right of an employee to terminate his contract of employment if a substantial change is made to his detriment in his working conditions. But no such right arises by reason only that (by virtue of paragraph 6, 7 or 8) the identity of his employer changes unless the employee shows that in all the circumstances the change is a significant change and is to his detriment.
Where an employee's contract of employment with— is not transferred under a staff transfer scheme, it is terminated immediately before the date on which the board or probation trust ceases to exist (and the employee is to be treated, for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (c. 18), as having been dismissed by the board or probation trust). Sub-paragraph (1) has effect subject to paragraphs 6(5), 7(6) and 8(6).
