The Criminal Justice Chief Inspectors’ Group (CJCIG) has finalised its business plan. This sets out the programme of inspections of the Criminal Justice System (CJS) for 2018/19 in which two or more of our inspectorates will be working together.

Criminal Justice Joint Inspection Business Plan 2018/19 (PDF)

Our joint programme includes a core of rolling inspections which cover every area in England and Wales over a period of several years. The remaining work streams are time-limited, targeted and themed inspections, visiting a small number of areas and highlighting good and poor practice in a particular subject for the benefit of all areas.

The Chief Inspectors have carefully considered all responses to their consultation process and assessed them against risks to the public and available resources. Consequently, they have included four new fully joint inspections and four other pieces of work. Details are set out in the plan.

The plan will be kept under review to ensure that we are putting our joint efforts and resources into the right areas of the CJS.
