answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>It remains our intention to undertake a full future assessment of the impact of our prison education reforms in due course. This will include the particular impact of the Prison Education Framework and prison education Dynamic Purchasing System.</p><p> </p><p>The Education and Employment Strategy, published in May 2018, set out ambitious plans to give prison governors power and control over the education arrangements in their establishments. The Prison Education Framework and prison education Dynamic Purchasing System are key elements of that reform, enabling a governor to determine what their curriculum is, how it is delivered and who delivers it.</p><p> </p><p>These arrangements will ensure a tailored and consistent approach to delivery as well as attracting and enabling smaller local suppliers and third sector organisation to participate in delivering a varied and responsive mix of provision to prisoners.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 15/07/2019 16:49:17 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2019 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> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 31/07/2019 15:53:14 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) plans the provision of accredited programmes by obtaining a national overview of demand, and more local analyses to understand demand at sites in order to plan provision. This enables us to identify a demand above supply, for example where the Parole Board is limiting progression due to a lack of provision, we are able to identify this and make changes to the provision.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of HMPPS, not the Parole Board, to assess the suitability and eligibility of offenders for accredited programmes as part of their wider sentence plan. We have a wide range of accredited programmes for prisoners to attend where they are identified as suitable. We always try to ensure that courses are available to prisoners at a suitable time in their sentence.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 04/07/2019 15:57:22 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
