A watchdog has found the East and West Lincolnshire Probation Delivery Unit to be 'inadequate' in five out of seven areas, saying that not enough attention was paid to keeping people safe.

There were also oversights when assessing people whether people posed a risk of domestic violence.

A report published by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation criticised the “worrying” lack of attention paid to keeping people safe in assessments.
