HMPPS has developed a future strategy for tackling corruption in HMPPS based on four key objectives:
- 'Protect' against corruption by building an open and resilient organisation;
- 'Prevent' people from engaging in corruption, strengthen professional integrity;
- 'Pursue' and punish those who are corrupt; and
- 'Prepare' for corruption, reducing its impacts on our teams.
These objectives will need to be delivered at every level through prisons and probation, in particular strengthening our resilience on the front line. The Directorate of Security is taking forward improvements, including restructuring the Counter‑Corruption Unit (CCU), to provide senior operational leaders, prisons and probation teams with an improved counter‑corruption service. The role sits in the newly restructured Counter‑Corruption Unit. Its objectives are to support prisons and probation to manage corruption threats, in particular supporting 'pursue' activity on corruption cases. The core service to be provided by the regional CCU is to support prisons and probation to effectively pursue corruption reports to clear, proportionate and timely outcomes. The level of service is to be assessed and prioritised according to policy and guidance, but may include providing prisons and probation with enhanced analytical support, expert advice on how to progress cases, logistical and coordination support. The team will also be responsible for supporting prisons and probation on the effective management of known corruptor prisoners in custody and under supervision in the community to prevent them from corrupting staff. In line with HMPPS policy, the post holder will be responsible for supporting the relevant Regional Corruption Purse Lead to deliver a high‑quality counter‑corruption service to prisons and probation in their SOCT region. The RCPM will also be responsible for working in partnership with other regional teams in the Directorate of Security, HR services and law enforcement. The job holder will report directly to the Regional Corruption Purse Lead, who in turn reports to the Head of the Operational Intelligence Team. The post holder will have line management responsibility for a Corruption Pursue Officer and will be expected to have a close working relationship with the regional counter‑corruption analyst.,
