In particular, we were concerned . 1.2 Since the inspection, a new governor had been appointed and some other leadership changes had been made which had slowed progress in a number of key areas. 1.3 At our previous inspections of HMP Leeds in 2019 and 2022, we made the following judgements . Figure 1: HMP Leeds healthy prison outcomes in 2019 and 2022 Good Reasonably good Not sufficiently good Poor Safety Respect Purposeful activity Rehabilitation and release planning 2019 2022 1.4 At this independent review of progress (IRP), we reviewed progress against eight concerns and found progress had been reasonable or better in five areas and insufficient or worse in three. Crucially the failure by leaders to make progress in reducing the rate of suicide undermined progress in other areas.
