Eleena Misra KC was commissioned as Independent Adviser to Jennifer Rademaker (Ministry of Justice) in connection with the report and recommendations publicly accepted by the government on 6 May 2025, by Lord James Timpson, Prisons Minister, to improve professional standards within HM Prison and Probation Service. In a speech, Lord Timpson said,
“Professional standards matter. They cannot simply be words on paper. They must be reflected in how we treat each other, every day. And where those standards aren’t met – our staff – and the public – must know that we’ll take swift and decisive action. HMPPS recognised that something needed to be done. That’s why it commissioned Jennifer to carry out her independent Review in the first place, and I’m pleased we have accepted her recommendations in full.”
