This year's report finds 4 establishments were judged as outstanding, 6 were graded as good and 1 was judged overall as requires improvement. No establishments were judged inadequate.
Overall training continues to be good and, across all the establishments visited, there is a clear commitment from commanding officers and teams to provide high-quality care and welfare support. However, as reported previously, poor infrastructure and unsuitable kit remain a problem across too many of the establishments inspected.
The inspections took place from October 2025 to April 2026.
