Thanks I will go with office=probation unless others disagree. The operator=* tag will come in useful in the near future when the government privatises much of it.
Although possibly I should tag as name=Bishop Auckland Probation, operator=Durham Tees Valley Probation Trust. I had intended to tag as name:Durham Tees Valley Probation Trust. In the same way you would for a supermarket chain like name=Tesco.
