Inspection of the Compensation Agency Northern Ireland

Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland (CJI) has today published the report on the inspection of the Compensation Agency in Northern Ireland. 

The report comments favourably on the work being done within the Agency and commends the Chief Executive and senior managers for creating the balance between a strong performance culture and the needs of staff in a changing environment.
 
The Agency receives on average 8,000 claims a year under four separate schemes most of which relate to victims of violent crime.
 
The report makes a small number of minor recommendations designed to improve the Agency’s relationship with major stakeholders.  These have been accepted and an action plan is published as part of the report.
