Leadership Expectations
We believe the quality of leadership is one of the most important factors in driving improvement and ensuring better outcomes for prisoners. We want to use our reports to encourage effective leadership practices and to stimulate more thought, dialogue and training about leadership within HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). In our Expectations, the term ‘leader’ refers to anyone with management responsibility, from a first line manager up to the Chief Executive of HMPPS.
To support our leadership Expectations we developed:
- A series of online briefing presentations and circulation of the presentation slides to senior HMPPS leaders, Prison Group Directors (PGDs) and governors. Read the presentation slides (161 kB).
- A ‘frequently asked questions’ document. Read the frequently asked questions (154 kB).
- Information on how to complete the self-assessment report (SAR) which is part of our leadership inspection methodology. View the self-assessment report template (175 kB).
