Reports and Reviews

Inspection reports and thematic reviews are based upon a compilation of results from the various inspection activities.

The administering department is provided with an opportunity early on in the process to highlight any factual errors in the report and to respond to any criticism. These responses are included in the final report as are any action plans submitted by the Department of Corrective Services that address matters requiring improvements.

Recommendations made by the Office are strategic in nature. That being so, we look to the Department to respond in a strategic manner.

Below is a full list of Inspection Reports, Thematic Reviews and Directed Reviews in numerical order. To see a separate list of each category, please click on the appropriate link in the column to the left of screen.
