### Provider

A top-level division of the probation service in England and Wales. There are currently 12 geographical providers as
well as some administrative providers. There are also a set of external providers, which are used for recording cases
being transferred into and out of the probation service.

Examples are "London" (geographical) or "National Security Division" (administrative).

<!--- The current list is (as of April 2024):

### Probation Delivery Unit (PDU)

A further subdivision of a [Provider](#provider). Similarly, these can refer to geographical areas or administrative
groupings.

Examples are "Doncaster" (geographical), or "Prison offender managers" (administrative).

Legacy services may refer to this as "borough", but Probation Delivery Unit is the correct term to use.

### Local Admin Unit (LAU)

A further subdivision of a [Probation Delivery Unit](#probation-delivery-unit-pdu).

Legacy services may refer to this as "district" or "local delivery unit", but Local Admin Unit is the correct term to
use.

### Team

A practitioner can be a member of one or more teams.

Each team is linked to a single [Local Admin Unit](#local-admin-unit-lau), and may also have a linked office location.
