Joint Inspections
HMIC has a long history of engaging in joint inspection activity with HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate, HM Inspectorate of Court Administration, HM Inspectorate of Probation and HM Inspectorate of Prisons. The Police and Justice Act 2006 established a statutory responsibility on each of the five inspectorates to:
- co-operate with each other, and other named inspectorates
- draw up a joint inspection programme and associated framework
- consult their Secretary of State, other inspectorates and named stakeholders in the formulation of the plan
- act as ‘gatekeeper’ for all inspection of specified organisations, and
- delegate authority to inspect such organisations to each other, or other public authorities, as appropriate.
