West Yorkshire Probation Trust is monitored by the HM Inspectorate of Probation. The Trust produces an area plan based on the results of these inspections, and a Key Performance Plan is drawn up which outlines, in simple terms, why the West Yorkshire Probation Trust is in business, and what its staff are paid to achieve.
In addition to this, the European Excellence Model is used every year to assess how well West Yorkshire Probation Trust performs as an organisation. The model sets out a system which makes it easy to monitor improvements in effectiveness year on year, and to identify strengths and weaknesses.
Our key strategic priorities, as set out in the Business Plan, are:
- To achieve transition to Probation Trust status by April 2010
- To achieve performance results that rank us amongst the best Probation Areas
- To effectively use additional resource to help to reduce the prison population
- To prepare to implement Best Value and develop our capacity as a local commissioner
- To achieve a Recognised for Excellence award
- To build on existing partnerships and good offender management to ensure effective public protection arrangements
- To build on existing good practice in diversity and equality policy and practice
