The quality of work undertaken with women

 

"The quality of work undertaken with women" a joint inspection by HM Inspectorate of Probation and HM Inspectorate of Prisons."
May 2024

Chief Inspector of Probation, Martin Jones, said: “17 years on from the Corston report, which criticised the treatment of women in the CJS, our joint inspection with HMI Prisons has found that progress has been far too slow. Too often, services for women fall far short of the gender-informed approaches that were envisioned, meaning safe spaces where women can be offered support and rehabilitation are not available to those who need them.”

The report nevertheless includes some important areas of progress including Advance in London and the continuing work of Hibiscus.
