The Ombudsman is appointed by the Secretary of State for Justice and is completely independent of the Prison Service, the National Probation Service and the Border and Immigration Agency. The Ombudsman's office is now sponsored by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) having previously been the responsibility of the Home Office.
