answer text <p>The Process evaluation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) Electronic Monitoring Pilot: Qualitative findings included both male and female offenders and defendants. A forthcoming quantitative process evaluation of the GPS Pilot will contain analysis of Management Information gathered over the course of the pilot, including by gender. During the pilot, there were 586 tagging instances involving 20 female wearers and 566 male wearers.</p><p>Location monitoring can robustly monitor male and female offenders and defendants in the community, and provide an effective alternative to custody. If used as an alternative to custody the tags can be particularly effective in mitigating the disruptive impact of imprisonment on women with children. This is emphasised in our guidance to stakeholders.</p> more like this

answer text <p>In June 2018, the Government published its Female Offender Strategy which set out the vision to see fewer women coming into the criminal justice system, a greater proportion managed successfully in the community, and better conditions for those in custody. To support these aims, the Government, together with the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC), also published guidance for the police on working with vulnerable women.</p><p> </p><p>The NPCC shared the police guidance with chief officers, for dissemination within their forces and the APCC have circulated the guidance to all Police and Crime Commissioners. The MoJ will work with the APCC and NPCC to evaluate the impact of the guidance and consider any next steps.</p> more like this

answer text <p>I recognise that there are concerns about those who might abuse their position of power over a 16 or 17-year-old to pressure them into engaging in a sexual relationship. Such behaviour is very likely to be caught by the robust laws we already have in place. Any sexual activity with a child under 16 is a criminal offence, regardless of whether consent is given. Any non-consensual sexual activity is also a crime, whatever the age of the victim and whatever the relationship between the victim and perpetrator.</p><p> </p><p>However, we remain absolutely committed to protecting children and young people from sexual abuse and we want to ensure that existing offences are being used effectively to tackle this behaviour, and that those working with young people understand their responsibilities and act appropriately.</p><p> </p><p>My department, working closely with colleagues across government, is taking forward a review of the existing law, to check that that it is working effectively and ensuring young people are protected.</p>

answer text <p>HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HCMTS) is taking positive steps to reduce the waiting time for appeals to be heard in the Social Security and Child Support (SSCS) jurisdiction. In 2018, 232 medical members and 118 disability-qualified members were additionally appointed to the SSCS jurisdiction and an extra 129 fee-paid judges have recently been appointed. The SSCS jurisdiction will also benefit from 100 salaried judges and 170 fee-paid judges being recruited across tribunals more widely. In addition, HMCTS is developing a new digital system with a view to enabling speedier processing of appeals and a better service for all parties to the proceedings. Case-management “triage” sessions are also being conducted, with the aim of reducing the number of cases that need to progress to an oral hearing.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Under the new model for education delivery for prisons in England, which went live on 1 April 2019, prison managers are responsible for decision-making about their curriculum, how it is organised and who delivers it. The information requested is held by each prison individually and could only therefore be provided at disproportionate cost</p><p> </p><p>The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) enables Governors to commission innovative, specialist or one-off education provision for their establishment. The DPS is an electronic system used to purchase commonly used goods and services. Unlike traditional frameworks which are closed to new entrants for their duration the DPS allows suppliers to apply to join or decide to leave at any time during its term.</p> more like this

That is why we are working to reform youth custodial provision through the development of secure schools, a new type of secure provision for children, and delivering a wide-ranging change programme in existing youth custody sites including workforce reform, infrastructure changes and a new approach to behaviour management and education and healthcare delivery. Alongside this we are driving forward reform of the criminal records regime, considering how we can improve youth sentencing and working to explain or address disproportionality across the youth justice system.</p>
