Meeting of NAPA IAPs - London

Representatives from the IAPs associated with NAPA appreciated the opportunity to meet in person at Coram Campus in London in November, at an event to promote networking and the sharing of current issues. Speakers from HMPPS included Adam Colby, Dan Stretton and Chris Dixon who attended the afternoon session to give updates on the work of the National Approved Premises Team, Central Referral Unit and the commissioning of IAP services from 2026. We were also joined by Dave Argument and Billy Finnegan of HMI Probation speaking on the pilot programme of AP inspections. All speakers were able to take questions, hear any concerns and collect useful feedback. We are grateful to all participants for their attendance and input.
