The Justice Select Committee has produced a report of its meeting to review the position regarding the MOJ Action Plan to reduce the size of the IPP prison population:

"Our Report finds that the Ministry of Justice (MoJ)’s action plan for reducing the size of the IPP prison population lacks a clear strategic priority and ownership, as well as operational detail and performance measures. We outline the various challenges prisoners face to progression, including access to mental health services and the availability of course places, as well as raising concern about the transparency surrounding programme evaluations."
IIP Sentences Report 28th September 2022

The report acknowledges workload pressures across the system. It is detailed and thorough report. The Probation Institute is preparing a joint statement with the British Psychology Society.
