Cumbria Probation Area Audit Report   Context: Programmes achieving accredited status have undergone a rigorous process of development to ensure they have maximum impact in terms of reducing rego fwfep orrgma-lettsdetinlg. Selecnidn sem is however only part of the p– icwtiutrheo ut effective implementation by probation areas much of t positive influence on offenders’ behaviour   may be lost. Establishing robust quality assurance systems and indepengdeemnet ntasu dfiotr  aarcracrnedited  programmes is therefore crucial. HMIP is responsible for auditing accredited programmes o the Joint Accreditation Panel. Each probation area will be assessed against the delivery criteri Performance Stan dMaradnsual June 2001, which also outlines how these criteria are to be me evidenc ed. Scoring Approach: The criteria for the delivery of accredited programmes have been divided into four sections. T sections, and the overall weighting assihg nsectif doe nr, arce as follows: Committed leadership and supportive management 20% Programme management responsibilities 30% Quality of programme delivery 30% Case management responsib   i   liti   es     20% Each criterion is scoreFdul   lays    Met(   2 marksL),a   rgely Met(   1 Mark) oNrot Met(0 marks). The scoring summary sheet at the end of this report shows the marks awar–d efdo rf or each crit those criteria designated as Mandatory (see Performance Standards Manual) the mark give This denot tehse critical impact these criteria have on the effective delive ry of programmes.  The marks awarded for each section are shown and then expressed as a % by dividing the t of marks scored by the maximum available, and multiplyin g B bhy as1 0b0e. eSn ecditivoidned into  seven s-usbections for ease of s coring. To determine an area’s IQR, the scores for each section are multiplied by the appropriate fa account of the relevant weightings given above.
