answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2023 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice’s most comprehensive estimate suggests over the course of a year, approximately 200,000 children may be affected by a parent being in or going to prison. This estimate is based on 2009 survey data.</p><p> </p><p>The Prisons Strategy White Paper includes a commitment to improve the quality of the data collected on children impacted by parental imprisonment. We will deliver this commitment through our Better Outcomes through Linked Data (BOLD) Programme. BOLD is a cross government project which will link data to enable better evidenced and more joined up cross government services.</p><p> </p><p>Through BOLD, we will explore data sharing to improve our understanding of the number of children with parents in prison. Changes have also been made to the Basic Custody Screening Tool to enable us to collect data on entry to prison about how many primary carers are in custody and how many children under the age of 18 are affected by their imprisonment. The learning from the data collected will be incorporated into findings from the BOLD programme, which will be delivered by March 2024.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 12/09/2023 16:40:01 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of potential merits of introducing a requirement for coroners to inform universities of the death of a student enrolled on a course.

uin	170732
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2023 answer text <p>Every student death is a tragedy. Where a student’s death is investigated by the coroner, it may be appropriate for the higher education provider to have “interested person” status in the investigation and, where this is the case, would be provided with the Record of Inquest which includes the cause of death. Inquest hearings are public and open for anyone to attend.</p><p>In addition, coroners have a statutory duty to issue a report to prevent future deaths (a PFD report) where they consider that an investigation has identified circumstances which should be addressed to prevent or reduce the risk of future deaths. The report must be made to a person or organisation whom the coroner believes could have the power to take action, which may include higher education providers, and recipients are obliged by law to respond.</p><p>As coroners are independent judicial office holders, the way in which they conduct their investigations is entirely a matter for them. It would therefore be inappropriate to impose a duty on them to provide information to higher education providers in relation to individual student suicide cases. Moreover, coronial investigations are limited fact-finding exercises, and it cannot be guaranteed that consistent and comprehensive information on a deceased person’s background will be made available to the coroner in every case.</p><p>The Government expects all higher education providers to take suicide prevention very seriously, providing information with place for students to find help, actively identifying students at risk, and intervening with swift support when needed. Where a tragedy does occur, this must be treated with the utmost sensitivity by a provider. This approach to suicide prevention is set out in the <a href="https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/what-we-do/policy-and-research/publications/suicide-safer-universities" target="_blank">Suicide Safer Universities</a> framework, led by Universities UK and Papyrus and supported by Government. Supporting mental health and ensuring action is taken to prevent future tragedies is a high priority for Government. That is why we have targeted funding at mental health support measure including, partnerships between higher education providers and NHS services to provide better pathways of care for university students.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 27/03/2023 16:49:17 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2022 answer text <p>In December 2021, HMPPS agreed the principal terms of a new lease with the Duchy of Cornwall. Subject to final agreement, HMP Dartmoor will remain operational as a prison beyond the end of 2023, when the existing lease expires. This will protect jobs in the rural south-west of England, as well as preserving 640 much-needed prison places. I am committed to ensuring that conditions in Dartmoor are fit for purpose. HMPPS will deliver a number of significant infrastructure upgrades to improve physical conditions, following agreement of the lease. These include major investment in roof and gate upgrades, as well as planned work to replace all lighting across the prison.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 01/03/2022 16:56:00 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
