  "People supervised by the Probation Service on the last day of each quarter: under a community order or a suspended sentence order, before release from prison or after it on licence or post-sentence supervision. Someone under more than one kind of supervision counts once in all supervision, so the kinds do not add up to it.",
  "From 11 May 2026, under the Sentencing Act 2026, no new post-sentence supervision was given to adults and every existing requirement for them ended, as the Ministry of Justice's note 54 says, so post-release supervision falls from June 2026.",
  "The Ministry of Justice marks a break in the series at 31 March 2026, when a new data pipeline and method began; figures from then on are not like for like with those before, and it gives no change across the break.",
  "The Ministry of Justice publishes these as accredited official statistics."
