Detailed information on the location of arson offences, such as churches, may be held on court record but to be able to identify these cases, as they are not held centrally, we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost. Matters relating to Scotland and Northern Ireland are matters for those respective devolved administrations.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 21/05/2019 16:16:04 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>One of the key aims of the competition is to secure high quality, value for money bids. We expect providers to adequately resource their respective establishments to deliver a safe, decent and secure regime but also want to encourage innovation in service delivery. We believe setting a mandatory minimum threshold for staffing would not fully deliver the aims of the competition and could stifle the ability to innovate, both now and in the future.</p><p>However, we will robustly evaluate bidder responses, for both quality and cost in consultation with subject matter experts across the organisation. It provides a full resourcing model based on the design of the prison, operating capacity, security category, the vision for the regime and the type of services that would best meet the needs of the cohort within.</p><p>The PSC will enable us to rigorously evaluate the operational and financial aspects of the bids and provide assurance that bidders have the resources required to ensure a safe, decent, secure and rehabilitative regime that delivers quality, value for money and affordability.</p><p>Recognition rights for trade unions are a matter for individual bidders and therefore are not mandated in the contract.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland grouped question UIN 251409 question first answered 15/05/2019 16:11:20 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland previous answer version 117681 answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>Carrying on the youth justice reforms from 2017, we are providing funding for every Prison Officer in the Youth Custody Service to undertake a youth justice qualification and, on completion, transition into a new youth justice specialist role on promotion and at a higher pay-grade. Over 400 frontline staff are currently enrolled on this qualification.</p><p> </p><p>To better support young people in custody, we are rolling out the Custody Support Plan (CuSP) and implementing the use of Promoting Risk Intervention by Situational Management (PRISM). CuSP will provide each young person with a personal officer to work with in order to build trust and consistency. PRISM is an evidence-based process specifically designed and tested for use within custodial institutions. It provides a comprehensive framework for reviewing features of an environment that are known to contribute to the likelihood and emergence of violence.</p><p> </p><p>As well as this we are working closely with the NHS on ‘Secure Stairs’, which is a new integrated approach to strengthen the provision of health care to address the needs of young people holistically and co-ordinates services through a coherent, joined up approach. In addition, we are increasing psychology staff and support, and opening Enhanced Support Units for young people with the most complex needs.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 16/05/2019 16:15:18 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
