HMPPS commissioned Jennifer Rademaker, a Ministry of Justice Non-Executive Director to undertake a review to look at HMPPS’s organisational culture and how it applies its policies, procedures and practice relating to bullying, harassment, and discrimination. The aim of this work was to identify practical recommendations to improve HMPPS’s approach that will in turn improve confidence among its staff in speaking out and help quicken the pace of change towards a more positive culture.

This response is the HMPPS and MoJ response to the Rademaker Professional Standards Review.
