HMPPS's efforts to tackle corruption are integral to delivering safe and secure prisons and probation. HMPPS has worked with MoJ to identify that a new approach is needed to ensure we remain resilient to this key operational threat. 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.
