The Probation Inspectorate found that work in Oldham, Staffordshire and Windsor & Maidenhead was generally good.
Oldham was praised for successful resettlement work, while Staffordshire was found to provide a good service to children and young people.
Meanwhile Windsor & Maidenhead was praised for the standard of assessments for young offenders and plans for subsequent work with them.
