In August the Probation Delivery Unit for Bristol and South Gloucestershire was rated as ‘requires improvement’ by HM Inspectorate of Probation.

We will publish an Action Plan in October 2023 to address the resulting recommendations, including through improved systems for information sharing and for pre-release planning.
