Our structure
We are formed of 3 directorates each headed by an Executive Director:

- Hazel Parker-Brown - Executive Director for Corporate Services
The Executive Directors report to our Chief Executive Carolyn Downs.
Our Chief Executive is responsible to the Commission. Chaired by Sir Bill Callaghan, the Commission’s role is similar to the board of directors for a public company.
Our senior level structure is under Documents.Our staff
About 1700 employees work across England and Wales. Our head office is based in London.
How we work with the government
We are a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). We play a big part in helping the MoJ achieve its aims of:
- promoting justice
- protecting the public
- increasing confidence in justice
- providing access to justice for all
- upholding rights
- safeguarding and modernising our constitution.
The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice is accountable to Parliament for our activities and performance.
The MoJ agrees its overarching Public Service Agreement targets with the Treasury. We in turn set our objectives in discussion with the MoJ.
