Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
ONR has undertaken an inspection of leadership, learning and decision making at Devonport Royal Dockyard Limited (DRDL) with the sample being the leadership level below that of Executive. The purpose of the inspection is to aid ONR’s judgement of DRDL’s leadership, decision-making and learning. This unrated inspection is part of a series of interventions focused on leadership and governance at DRDL. On the basis of evidence sampled, I judge that relevant good practice was met for leadership, decision making and learning. I found areas of good practice and areas that DRDL should consider reviewing.
Conclusion
Overall I judged that relevant good practice was met in the sample inspected with some areas of good practice and some areas that DRDL should consider strengthening.
