The Project Team

The project is led by Professor Nicola Carr.  

Dr Jake Phillips and Dr Sarah Doxat-Pratt lead our work to profile penal supervision across the five nations. 

Professor Beth Weaver, Dr Jan Flaherty, Dr Fern Gillon and Dr Claire Lightowler lead our work to understand experiences of probation supervision, from the perspective of people on probation and practitioners working in probation.  

Dr Hannah Graham leads our work to understand penal supervision policy.  

The research is supported by Professor Fergus McNeill who is an advisor to the project.  

All members of the project team are involved in research fieldwork, knowledge exchange and dissemination.
