Consultations
Inspection framework and programmes
Under the Police and Criminal Justice Act 2006 we consult each year on our inspection framework and programmes. We think it right to consult not just with ministers and other inspectorates (as the Act requires) but also with those we inspect and other interested parties.
2019 – Closed
Our consultation for 2019-2020 closed on Sunday 14 April 2019.

Standards and ratings
Closed:
Consultation on standards for inspecting youth offending services (PDF, 382 kB)
In 2018, we launched a new set of standards, ratings and methodology. Overall, they have been performing well, but we want to continue to improve the way we inspect local services to support improvements in practice. We have kept our methodology under review and want to seek views on particular areas such as the inspection of out of court disposals and resettlement services for children leaving custody.
Our consultation closed on Sunday 07 June 2020 at 23:59.
