Using examples of effective practice from within our core adult and youth inspections and the thematic programme, we have developed a range of effective practice guides and resources.
These materials are aimed at a range of audiences; they are intended to support practitioners, middle managers and strategic leaders to reflect on their own experiences and consider how they may apply the key learning points in their own contexts.
If you are a probation or youth justice practitioner, we would like to hear what you think of these materials, including any suggested improvements. Please send your ideas to Helen.Amor@hmiprobation.gov.uk (E-mail address).
This guide has been designed to help managers and practitioners reflect on how best to improve the experience of Black, Asian, and ethnic minority staff and people on probation.
Between January and October 2022, six youth justice services were rated ‘Outstanding’ in resettlement. This guide seeks to share the practice from these services to help improve practice in this area. We explore organisational delivery, case supervision and share the evidence base which supports effective practice.
This insights guide is designed for middle managers to help them consider how they can create a culture that enables and promotes professional curiosity.
This insights guide explores what professional curiosity is, why it is important, errors, bias and barriers that impede its use and how you can mitigate these. In addition, the pack highlights themes where a lack of professional curiosity has impacted on the quality of case supervision, and we share case illustrations where professional curiosity has improved the quality of supervision.
