Resource Summary

The implementation of the standard determinate sentence 40 (SDS40) scheme in July 2024 and the subsequent announcement of the Government’s sentencing review placed at centre stage the
ability of the Probation Service to supervise and manage people effectively in the community. To achieve the best results, the Probation Service needs sufficient, well-trained staff to meet those
demands. This thematic inspection therefore came at a timely moment and was led by HM Inspector Noreen Wallace, supported by a team of inspectors and operations, research, communications, and corporate staff. The manager responsible for this inspection programme is Helen Davies.
