answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>We assess the performance of the National Probation Service and 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) through a range of service levels and, for CRCs, through a robust contract management and assurance process. Performance information against these service levels is published quarterly. The most recent statistics were published on 28 April and can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-performance-quarterly-management-information-update-to-december-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-performance-quarterly-management-information-update-to-december-2015</a>. Cohorts were established from 1 October 2015 and there will be a 26 month delay to allow for robust measurement over a sustained period, cases to clear courts, and analysis of the data. We will, therefore, be unable to assess whether the reforms are reducing reoffending until December 2017.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 08/06/2016 15:14:17 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2016 answer text <p>The Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) provide a statutory framework within which criminal justice and social care agencies are required to assess and manage the risk presented by sexual and violent offenders, with a view to reducing re-offending and protecting the public. MAPPA is not a statutory body in itself but is a mechanism through which agencies can better discharge their statutory responsibilities and protect the public in a co-ordinated manner.</p><p> </p><p>The Responsible Authorities – the Probation, Police and Prison Services acting jointly - have a duty to ensure that the risks posed by specified sexual and violent offenders are assessed and managed property. The work undertaken by the Responsible Authorities to manage these offenders can therefore not be disaggregated from the core business of agency management.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 09/03/2016 12:59:30 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2016 answer text <p>Offenders managed under the statutory Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements and those who present a high risk of serious harm are managed by the National Probation Service (NPS), while medium- and lower-risk offenders are managed by the 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs).</p><p>Risk is a dynamic factor, and in many cases the degree of risk presented by an offender will change during the course of his or her sentence.

tabling member printed	Baroness Corston
uin	HL2624
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2015 answer text The Weighted Annual Volume (WAV) was not estimated. Flat projections were made for each contract package area and made available to bidders for the purposes of bid evaluation. The contracts held with Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) include a payment mechanism which accounts for changes in volumes (paying providers more if volumes increase, and less if volumes decrease). This was communicated to providers throughout the bidding and competition process. answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 28/10/2015 13:31:13 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the proportion of people in the justice system currently supervised by the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies is different to the proportions predicted during the Transforming Rehabilitation contracting process; and whether any differences between the predicted and actual numbers of people so supervised has had any impact on the development of the supply chains contained in the winning Transforming Rehabilitation contract bids.
tabling member printed	Baroness Corston
uin	HL2625
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2015 answer text <p>No prediction of the case allocation split between the National Probation Service (NPS) and Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRC) was made at the time of the Transforming Rehabilitation competition. Instead, actual data was used to identify the proportion of cases that sat with either the NPS or CRCs. The actual proportion of offenders allocated to the NPS or CRCs is now different compared to that at the time of the competition. Any shift in the relative caseloads held between NPS and CRCs would be as a result of a change in the mix of offenders within the system</p><p><br>The Ministry of Justice monitors offender case allocation and expects providers to implement the supply chains that were set out in their bids during the TR competition, unless otherwise agreed with the Authority. We are working with suppliers to ascertain any potential impact on the supply chain.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 29/10/2015 12:43:52 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
