Hi, i know i should get my son to ask his probation officer but its quicker to ask on here, He is on tag and obv has to visit his probation officer every week at them moment, if he gets a job would he still have to visit them every week ? or would they be able to come to some sort of arrangement. thanks

He would still have to visit but they would arrange a convenient time.

I am not or never been a probation officer but I did work on the administration side for a time.
I know cases were looked at on an individual basis.
In one case when there was only a short time to go the probation officer arranged to see him after work.
I did hear when somebody was taged and was required to be at home at certain times and got a job where he was required in work during some of his curfew time they were flexible.
I have also heard they give sympathetic consideration to somebody on Community Payback where they have to do repairs etc at certain times when one of them got a permanent job.
You will have to contact the probation officer as cases are considered on an individual basis and it may have to be refered to the court.
I know they were quick in reaching a decision so the job was not lost.
