The Central Council of Probation and After-Care Committees was the body which co-ordinated probation services (which were generally organised on a county basis) in England and Wales and acted as their central representative to the UK Government.[1] It was one of the founder members of the Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work in 1971.[2]

In 1978 it produced briefing papers for local Probation and After-Care Committees on the Royal Commission on Criminal Procedure (Philips Commission), and the diminished use of probation orders.[3]

In the 1981 Birthday Honours John Patrick Marland, Chairman of the Council was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[4]

It was succeeded by the Probation Boards Association.[5]

Its records are held in the Home Office archives.[6]
