answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2016 answer text <p>HMCTS takes the issue of security within its courts extremely seriously and has in place a robust security and safety system to protect all court users, and the judiciary, in every family court. Risk assessments are carried out regularly by court managers and assured by security and safety professionals to ensure adequate protection measures are in place. These measures include inter-agency agreements to ensure the safety and security of victims and witnesses when attending court, such as support and escorts into the building and - where possible - alternative entry and exit routes and separate waiting rooms.</p><p> </p><p>There are also court security officers in place who have legislative powers to protect all those in the court building. Security measures include mandatory bag searches, the use of modern security searching equipment and surveillance cameras, and panic alarms in hearing rooms. Our security standards are continually reviewed to ensure they are effective, proportionate and effectively mitigate against the risks posed to court users, including victims of domestic abuse.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 24/02/2016 15:26:10 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2016 answer text <p>I can sympathise with the anguish caused to the families of victims where the whereabouts of their loved one is unknown and the offender wilfully fails to co-operate. Such behaviour is already taken into account by the court when sentencing the offender, and by the independent Parole Board when assessing an offender’s eligibility for possible release. The Prisons Minister has written to the Parole Board asking it to consider reviewing its guidelines on this issue.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 23/02/2016 16:50:26 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
