Let us introduce you to Daffodil — a tender-hearted lady with a name as soft as her spirit. She’s around 8 or 9 years old, a beautiful Labby cross who came to the Cape of Good Hope SPCA through our Inspectorate. Life hasn’t always been gentle with her — but she’s still blooming with quiet hope, just waiting for someone to notice her. Daffodil isn’t the type to leap into your arms or barrel through the door with tail-wagging chaos. No — she’s the slow-blooming kind. The kind of dog who’ll take her time, lean in gently, and one day rest her head on your knee like she’s always belonged there. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome and welcome back to Leaders in Conversation with me, Anni Townend, the podcast that helps you to grow confidence, care and courage your leadership.I created this series of candid conversations for leaders to share their inspirational leadership stories, weaving together the threads of their life. Together we delve into what they really care about, their values and beliefs, their passion and purpose and how they live and weave these through their leadership every day, in all that they do. They offer valuable insights and rich experience to help and inspire you on your own unique leadership journey. If you are not already please do subscribe to the podcast, review and share it. Thank you!About This EpisodeIn this episode I am delighted to be in conversation with Justin Russell, Former Chief Inspector of Probation, a role that he finished in the Autumn of 2023 on the challenges and satisfactions of leading in the public sector.Together we delve into:His experience of Senior leadership in the Civil Service – the challenges and satisfactions of sharing the vision setting space with politicians and other parts of governmentOperational versus Policy leadership in the Public Sector - why most top civil service jobs go to policy specialists and why intellectual leadership is prioritised over emotional leadership in Whitehall.Justin's personal career challenge - as someone who loves policy detail and evidence - of getting the balance right between being ‘Hands off and hands on', of being on the balcony versus being on the dance floor. The challenge of engaging colleagues in an era of hybrid working – and how does remote working make leadership more or less easy / more or less satisfying? Justin's three key encouragements for leaders, whatever the sector they are working and leading in:Pay attention to your impact! Don't underestimate the shadow you cast  - or the difference it can make…………Say yes when people ask for help with career advice or mentoring – and don't be afraid to ask the people you admire for their help too. What goes around always comes around.Always keep yourself anchored by asking yourself first what is the right - fair and just -  thing to do when faced with a leadership or policy challenge – but don't beat yourself up too much if that can't be fully delivered. Leaders have to be pragmatists as well as idealists.About JustinJustin is the former Chief Inspector of Probation, a role that he finished in the Autumn of 2023. I had the privilege of partnering with him and his leadership team over a short period of time during 2023.

The Department of Corrections' Office of the Inspectorate has released a report into how pregnant women and those with children under 24 months are managed in New Zealand's three women's prisons.

But more needs to be done to ensure all women receive pregnancy tests on entry and then address the issues of mothers coping with alcohol and drug addictions.

Migrant worker advocates are calling for regulators to speed up the investigative process into exploitation claims. Over a thousand migrant worker exploitation complaints have been filed within the past year, and ninety percent of those complaints haven't been followed up with an investigation. First Union says that there aren't enough labour inspectors to handle all of these investigation claims, and that a lack of enforcement renders current labour laws useless. National Manager Labour Inspectorate, Stu Lumsden explained why these investigation numbers are as low as they are.  "You can get that many complaints, but that doesn't mean all complaints are capable of being investigated. Some are anonymous, and we can't follow up. We can't entertain the facts and it's not worth taking any further."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government Inspectorate has formed an inspection team to examine the management of fuel trading and asked the relevant ministries and departments to report on the use of the fuel price stabilization fund.

The Metropolitan Police has been handcuffed into ‘special measures' by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary after a series of damaging scandals and “systemic failings” in the force's work.It means the Met will now be under intense administrative scrutiny by the watchdog.The announcement follows outrage over awful incidents that included the rape and murder of Sarah Everard shattering public confidence, the failure to stop serial killer Stephen Port, the strip search of a black schoolgirl, Child Q, as well as not logging 69,000 crimes yearly.Crime in the capital is up over 10 per cent, including a year-on-year 8.5 per cent rise in violence against the person — almost 250,000 crimes — sexual offences up 26 per cent and knife crime up five per cent, although homicide decreased by 10 per cent and youth homicide is down by a third.How can the capital's famous constabulary redeem its reputation and restore confidence among Londoners?To examine the latest on the scandal inside Britain's most famous police force, The Leader is joined by the Standard's City Hall Editor Ross Lydall.

Much of the UK's criminal justice sector recruits people with lived experience of the justice system as volunteer supporters. These ‘peer mentors' or ‘peer volunteers' take on a range of different roles within organisations, both within prisons and in the community, hugely supporting services. Peer volunteers can benefit from the experience of giving back and improving their own self-confidence, and evidence suggests peer volunteering amongst prisoners can also prevent re-offending. Today, Catch22's Josie Cochrane explores the power of peer mentors, the challenges, and some of the considerations needed when working with peer mentors. We are joined by Russell Webster, a well-known commentator on justice issues and a member of the Advisory Group for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation, and David Breakspear. David, with lived experience and part of RECONNECT, helped Russell with the development of a best practice guide on how to support peer volunteers.

Panel discussion organised by the Academy of Ideas Education Forum on 21 February 2022. INTRODUCTION As the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) approaches its 30th birthday, many are increasingly concerned that Ofsted is becoming overly political and moralistic and insufficiently educational in its approach. The anniversary of Ofsted's creation seems a good moment to take stock. Ofsted employs more than a thousand people and has an annual budget of close to £130 million. For this, it takes responsibility for regularly inspecting all publicly funded schools and colleges in England. In addition to setting the agenda of her inspection teams, Ofsted's head, Amanda Spielman, writes a widely read annual report on the state of state education. Spielman herself has strong educational, political and moral opinions, and intervenes regularly in public debates. Last year, for example, she rejected calls to decolonise the school curriculum. Ofsted was established in 1992 in the final phase of the Thatcherite reform of English state education. The creation of a national inspectorate that reported in public followed the introduction of the National Curriculum in 1989, as well as a new national examination system that included the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). Results from these national exams were from this point onwards reported in national league tables, in which the performance of all state schools was ranked. At the time, many teachers opposed this power grab from central government, and these criticisms have continued to be voiced. For many, Ofsted represents an unwarranted extension of central state control over education, as well as a mechanism by which the autonomy and the professionalism of teachers has been undermined. It is certainly true that teachers in England experience extraordinary levels of central state control and that Ofsted is one of the mechanisms by which this control is exercised. However, sociologist Stephen Ball perhaps overstates the case when he describes the accountability pressures experienced by English state-school teachers as giving rise to the ‘terror of performativity'. It was under the government of John Major that Ofsted was first introduced. As we might expect, his account of its purpose differs from that of its critics. Writing in his autobiography, he observes that when he came into office, producers – rather than consumers – controlled public services and that health and education in particular was ‘run carelessly, wastefully, arrogantly … more for the convenience of the providers than the users, whether they were parents, pupils or patients'. More recently, however, Ofsted has faced criticism from conservatives. They argue that Ofsted has been captured by progressivist educators, who are using the inspection system to impose woke values on education. Ofsted, the conservatives allege, has become a cuckoo institution, a mechanism by which a progressivist elite lodged within the state are imposing their values on young people. This charge could not be more serious, as Ofsted ought to remain impartial on matters that divide the nation morally and politically. It is, after all, Her Majesty's Inspectorate. Is Ofsted now exceeding its official remit? Do we even need a national inspectorate when we have a national examination system? Can state-employed teachers be trusted to do the job for which they are paid and trained? Is it time that we inspected the inspectors? SPEAKERS Neil Davenport writer and teacher Rowenna Davis teacher; former journalist and Labour Party parliamentary candidate; new mum and community organiser Alex Kenny secondary school teacher and NEU Executive member Joseph Robertson director, Orthodox Conservatives think tank; education research fellow, The Bow Group CHAIR Toby Marshall teacher and member of the AoI Education Forum

Marian Keyes writes funny, clever novels about the tough stuff in life. Her books feature addiction, break-ups, poor mental health with women at the heart and lots of good men as well. Her new novel Again, Rachel revisits Rachel Walsh whose story of recovery from addiction was told in the 1997 novel Rachel's Holiday. 25 years later Rachel has come full circle and is now working at the rehab facility where she got into recovery all those years ago. Marian joins Emma to explain how her own experience of addiction and recovery shapes the stories she tells and why happy endings are so important to her. Voice messages left on a crisis hotline ignored for six weeks. More self-harm incidents than any other women's prison. Violence high and a regime that's uncaring and punitive. These are the findings of an inspectorate report out today into Foston Hall, a women's prison in Derbyshire. Four other women's prisons in England have recently been inspected too. Across the board, self-harm has increased in women's prisons during the pandemic, much more than in men's prisons. Emma is joined by Sandra Fieldhouse who leads on women's prisons for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons. The crypto art marketplace has taken off over the past couple of years - with some pieces raking in millions - but surprise, surprise, it is nearly as male-dominated as traditional auction sales. For some female artists though, it has been life-changing. That is especially the case for the Scottish artist Anna Louise Simpson, a divorced mother of two, who is with us this morning. We are also joined by Micol Ap who runs VerticalCrypto Art, a media hub and studio dedicated to NFT art. For the last week, the media has been full of the aftermath of the Prime Minister's remarks to the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer - that he had failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile for sexual assault while Director of Public Prosecutions. A claim that is false, but was seized upon by a group of people who surrounded Starmer on Monday evening. But how has all of this affected Savile's many victims? We hear from one of them, Dee Coles, who told us how outraged she was, and how upset. Emma speaks to Maggie Oliver, a former detective who now runs the Maggie Oliver Foundation which helps victims and survivors of sexual abuse.

This episode features David Haze and Dr Lewis from the PRS team, discussing the recent Inspectorate of Probation Project, which examined the views of those subject to Electronic Monitoring (EM). This easy to access version of the report hopes to provide a quick overview of the findings and proposed solutions, to enrich the EM experience, to make it more meaningful and effective. We hope you enjoy this short summary and if you have any questions please get in touch with us on: info@penalreformsolutions.com

The awesome team at Penal Reform Solutions carried out an analysis into how the Criminal Justice System impacts on the mental health of service users. Our mission was to capture the experiences of service users, as part of a wider project commissioned by the Inspectorate of Probation. We wanted to create an accessible way to tell you about the findings, our recommendations and our reflections from the project so here it is! Thank you to all those that took part and to Justine Best and David Haze who joined me in this podcast. To find out more information about this work and to read the full report please visit: www.penalreformsolutions.com To get in touch with us please contact info@penalreformsolutions.com We are excited to be starting an Innovation Project with HMP Bristol, who won the award to develop better mental wellbeing services in prison through a peer mentoring service.

We are fortunate that there are people looking at parts of our criminal justice system which otherwise can be easily overlooked. Jayne Price is one of those people and here she describes her work studying the process of transition for young people moving from a Young Offenders Institution to an adult prison. Price, J. (2021).

The project was a CASE studentship with Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The research aimed to ‘explore pathways and transitions between juvenile and adult penal institutions'. Through speaking to young people who experience the transition, key stakeholders, observations within the institutions alongside analysis of relevant literature and HMIP survey data, the research findings contribute to the on-going collective reflexive learning of policy and practise. The original research sought to establish the most effective and progressive way of supporting young people through the transition. Brewster D (2020) Not Wired Up?

Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens was sentenced today. The court heard that Sarah Everard was handcuffed by her murderer - a Metropolitan Police officer - as he pretended to arrest her for breaching Covid guidelines, as she walked home from a friend's house in Clapham on 3 March. Couzens showed his warrant card before restraining her and putting her in his hire car and driving away. Emma gets reaction from listener and journalist Kat Brown, and reads from Sarah's mother Susan Everard's victim impact statement. She also speaks to Zoë Billingham, who is standing down today after 12 years in her role at Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. Zoë has taken a lead on domestic abuse inspections, and this month published a damning report into the way an ‘epidemic' of violence against women and girls is being handled – and calling for the prevention of these crimes to be taken as seriously by police and Government as counterterrorism. The report was commissioned by the Home Secretary Priti Patel in the wake of Sarah Everard's murder in March. After many years as members of Wham!, Pepsi & Shirlie broke out to conquer the charts as a pop duo. They discuss the challenges of making it in the male-dominated 1980s music industry, juggling pop careers with motherhood and reinventing themselves. Surrogacy in England and Wales has quadrupled over the past decade and enjoys a much higher profile thanks to celebrity parents such as Elton John, Kim Kardashian and Tom Daley. But despite it becoming an increasingly accepted option for those wishing to have a family, the laws regulating surrogacy and the rights of those involved haven't changed in the UK since the mid-1980s. The Law Commission is now in the process of reviewing those laws for the modern day. Bioethicist Dr Herjeet Marway from the University of Birmingham and lawyer Dr Claire Fenton-Glynn from the University of Cambridge discuss the many sticking points in surrogacy's evolving legal and ethical picture.

A major review of policing has concluded that violence against women and girls should be considered as much of a priority as counter terrorism. Following a spike in reports of domestic abuse during lockdown, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services found a "staggering variation" in how forces dealt with the issue across England and Wales. It is now six months since the murder of Sarah Everard, the fallout of which saw thousands of women reveal their own stories of rape and sexual assault that had gone unprosecuted. One woman shares her experience of abuse with Nick Robinson, who then speaks to the author of the report, Zoe Billingham, and the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Louisa Rolfe. Nick also asks the Labour MP Harriet Harman, who is chair of parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights and a former Secretary of State for Equalities and Minister for Women, for her views on how much impact this report will have.

This week on the Governance Update, what can we learn from a social media kerfuffle in the cricket world? Steve Cooper has some ideas... plus we follow up on the action taken by the Inspectorate to seek an order from VCAT for a councillor to stand aside whilst legal proceedings are on foot.. and some of the latest people movements making news in the sector.

In this podcast episode I speak  with Charlotte Wilson , team manager of the Care Inspectorate. Charlotte answers a range of questions about RCC with a particular focus on how the Care Inspectorate views current areas of prominence affecting the sector. Areas discussed include, the care review & the promise, cross border placements, physical restraint and the challenges the care inspectorate have encountered during the COVID pandemic. I found this interview interesting and it was good to hear from one of the care inspectorate managers. I really enjoyed interviewing Charlotte and hope you will enjoy listening, so without further a do, please welcome Charlotte Wilson.   

This week, we are joined by Victoria's Chief Municipal Inspector to discuss the findings and recommendations from the Inspectorate's just released 2020 elections report. Also discussed, Councils advocating on behalf of their communities and the latest senior appointments.

Near Me in Social Services is a project Iriss has been leading in partnership with the NHS Near Me team and the Scottish Government Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Programme over Autumn/Winter 2020/21. The project is producing new evidence around the priorities, enablers and challenges of using video consulting in social services. Iriss has supported five services to participate in a rapid Quality Improvement cycle to start using Near Me; provided light touch improvement support to organisations that are setting up Near Me independently within their work, and has developed a Learning Network. The Learning Network aims to build on and continue the support to these organisations using Near Me, while increasing the scope of support to others. Each Learning Network meeting includes speakers on related topics. In this episode, Yvonne Leathley, Senior Improvement Adviser at the Care Inspectorate speaks about a project to supply digital devices to care homes to improve connectivity.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/ygn7abqn New anti-corruption unit established by An Garda Síochána. Aonad nua frith-éillithe bunaithe ag an nGarda Síochána. Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has announced the establishment of a new anti- corruption unit to tackle Garda misconduct. D'fhógair Coimisinéir an Gharda Síochána Drew Harris go bhfuil aonad nua frith- éillithe bunaithe ag an bhfórsa le dul i ngleic le mí-iompar Gardaí. The unit was established following an assessment of corruption among the Gardaí. Bunaíodh an t-aonad tar éis measúnú a dhéanamh ar éillitheacht i measc na nGardaí. A new report from the Garda Síochána Inspectorate states that there is a risk that Gardaí may abuse their power to obtain sexual accommodation and that in future it must be ensured that Gardaí adhere to professional practices. Deirtear i dtuarascáil nua ó Chigireacht an Gharda Síochána go bhfuil an baol ann go bhféadfadh Gardaí mí-úsáid a bhaint as an gcumhacht atá acu le garaíocht ghnéis a fháil agus go gcaithfear a chinntiú feasta go gcloífidh Gardaí le nósanna proifisiúnta. At present, the report says, there are shortcomings in drug testing and Garda business activities. Faoi láthair, a deirtear sa tuarascáil, tá easnaimh ann maidir le tástálacha drugaí agus gníomhaíochtaí gnó Gardaí. Commissioner Harris said recommendations on these deficiencies are due to be published shortly. Dúirt an Coimisinéir Harris go bhfui moltaí i dtaobh na n-easnamh seo le foilsiú go luath. The Inspectorate's report also expresses concern that too many court cases are being thrown out because Gardaí do not appear in court when they are called to give evidence. Léirítear imní i dtuarascáil na Cigireachta freisin go bhfuil i bhfad an iomarca cásanna cúirte á gcaitheamh amach mar gheall nach mbíonn Gardaí i láthair sa chúirt nuair atá siad in ainm fianaise a thabhairt. Serious offenses are often thrown out, the Inspectorate says. Cionta tromchúiseacha a chaitear amach go minic, a deir an Chigireacht.

Jasvinder is a survivor of a forced marriage. She is the founder of Karma Nirvana, a national award-winning charity that supports both men and women affected by honour-based abuse and forced marriages. She is a highly acclaimed international speaker and an expert advisor to the courts in matters of child, civil and criminal proceedings, is a chair of domestic homicide reviews and was instrumental in ensuring that all UK police forces are required to improve their understanding of honour-based abuse and forced marriage by inspections conducted by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. Her memoir ‘Shame’ was a Times Top 10 Bestseller and described in the House of Lords as a ‘political weapon’. Jasvinder is recognized as bringing the issue of forced marriage into the public domain and Prime Minister David Cameron stated that her work ‘turned my head on the issue of forced marriage’. Her work is recognized as being pivotal to the creation of a specific UK forced marriage criminal offense in 2014. Her successful claim of sexual harassment against a peer in the House of Lords was the first in its 479 year history and has already led to an increase in reporting and resulted in significant changes in the House of Lords policy and practice including greater debates and reforms, resulting in a House of Lords independent inquiry into sexual harassment and bullying. She has received numerous awards including the prestigious Woman of the Year 2007. She was made an Honorary Doctor of the University of Derby in 2008. She was awarded The Pride of Britain Award in 2009 and was named Cosmopolitan Ultimate Woman of the Year in 2010.

Jasvinder is also listed as an entry in the 2016 edition of the book Who’s Who and in the same year received the International Woman Award for human rights from the Italian media. In 2018 she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Law by De Montfort University, Leicester, Woman of the Year by Leeds City Council and in 2019 she was awarded the Robert Burns Humanitarian of the Year Award and also the Sikh Woman of Substance Award.In this episode we discuss:The difference between forced and arranged marriages What the consequences were for Jasvinder running away at 15 years old and standing up to her mom by not going along with a forced marriage Why women have no say in who they marry What is an honour system, how it works, and why it’s more important than loving and doing what’s best for your child What a caste system is What her life looked like after her family disowned her How guilt, shame, isolation plagued her, and how her sister’s suicide was the turning point to her positive transformation When Jasvinder knew she made the right decision to run away Her life now as a campaigner and advocate to ending forced marriage What are the solutions to ending forced marriage and honour abuseConnect with Jasvinder:Website: www.jasvindersanghera.comNonprofit: www.karmanirvana.org.ukTwitter: @Jas_Sanghera_KNConnect with Ashley:Website: www.ashleyrivard.comInstagram: @ashleydrivard

The inconsistent manner in which police forces in England and Wales investigate reports of fraud is leaving victims 'confused and disillusioned.' That's one of the findings in a report by the watchdog Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services. Money Box listener Emma lost her £25,000 new home deposit after criminals hacked emails between her and her solicitor in order to divert and steal the money. She feels let down by the police and her bank. Guest HM Inspector of Constabulary Matt Parr. What needs to happen for you to achieve the life you desire? How much money is enough money? Just a few of the questions likely to be asked by a lifestyle financial planner as they cashflow model your future. Julie Lord, Chief Executive of Magenta Financial Planning, explains what it involves. A report from Gingerbread, the charity for single-parent families, highlights concerns over the operation of one of the Child Maintenance Support payment methods called Direct Pay where parents manage payments between themselves. Guest: Sumi Rabindrakumar who wrote the report for Gingerbread. This week the Financial Conduct Authority issued a warning for people considering putting their cash into Innovative Finance ISAs (IFISAs). It says mini-bonds or peer-2-peer investments "may not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme so customers may lose the money invested or find it hard to get back." It follows the collapse of London Capital & Finance. More than 11,000 people invested £236m with the failed mini-bond provider.

Welcome to part one of Episode 22.  We recorded this on the Saturday night of the UK Games Expo but has been delayed in release due to a visit from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate and generally being very busy work wise. … Continue reading →

There were an estimated 12 million incidents of anti-social behaviour in England and Wales last year but only about a quarter were reported to the police. Recent research published by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary suggests that in some areas those calls have not been taken seriously enough, with the emphasis on more 'serious' crime. We hear from those on the receiving end of anti-social behaviour, the victims who become prisoners in their own homes and those trying to stop it. Some express frustration with the lack of police action. To get an insight into the challenges of juggling resources and meeting the public expectations we visit three forces in the North of England: Greater Manchester who have been criticised for their approach to anti social behaviour, Lancashire who have been held up as a model force, and Merseyside who have just announced they are going to scrap their anti social behaviour Task Force. The Chief Inspector of Constabulary in England and Wales, Sir Denis O'Connor has said that it's time to 'reclaim some neighbourhoods'. He warned chief constables to think carefully before making cuts as they could tip some areas into a spiral of economic and social decline, and said that what's needed are feet on the street. As forces brace themselves for large spending cuts, Jane Dodge looks at the criticism targeted at forces and asks whether the policing of anti-social behaviour will suffer. Producer: Samantha Fenwick.
