<p>Data on release on Childcare Resettlement Licence (CRL) is published regularly
in the Offender Management Statistics:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018</a></p><p>
</p><p>Table A3.7 of <em>Prison Releases: 2018</em> shows that there were 32 incidences
of release on CRL for men and 322 incidences of release on CRL for women. This is
the number of releases rather than the number of individuals released, which is not
available by type of release on temporary licence (ROTL).</p><p> </p><p>CRL is a form
of ROTL which allows primary carers of children under 18 to be released to help maintain
the relationship with their children. As with any ROTL there is a stringent risk assessment
and the release must be in the child’s best interests. The higher incidence of release
on CRL for women reflects the fact that primary carers of children are more likely
to be women.</p>
