What we do

HM Inspectorate of Probation is the independent inspector of probation and youth justice services in England and Wales.  

Our inspections, reviews, research and effective practice products provide authoritative and evidence-based judgements and guidance. We use our voice to drive system change, with a focus on inclusion and diversity, and our scrutiny leads to improved outcomes for individuals and communities.
