HM Inspectorate of Probation inspection framework and programmes consultation

In order to respond to HM Inspectorate of Probation’s consultation questions we have drawn on evidence from our ongoing policy work and consultation with members. In our submission we have focused on the three key areas which we feel our knowledge and expertise best places us to provide feedback on. These are: HM Inspectorate of Probation’s engagement with voluntary sector organisations;Probation providers’ engagement with voluntary sector organisations; and prioritising equalities in HM Inspectorate of Probation’s framework and programmes.Throughout our response we have made a number of recommendations and suggestions for HM Inspectorate of Probation to consider as well as offers of support that Clinks could provide to the HM Inspectorate of Probation.
