Building on this, the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) has put in place additional resources for safer custody work in prisons and at regional level. These staff support safer custody work in prisons and share good practice across establishments. NOMS will be conducting a review of the operation of the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork system (the case management process for prisoners assessed as being at risk) in 2015.</p><p> </p><p>Young adults are a particularly challenging and vulnerable group, and that is why we have commissioned an independent review into the deaths of 18 to 24-year-olds in prison custody. This review will report in the Spring.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to explore the reasons for the recent increase in the number of self-inflicted deaths, but there is no simple explanation for it. Strenuous efforts are made to learn from every self-inflicted death, and we have accepted and acted on the vast majority of recommendations from recent investigations by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 09/02/2015 16:54:25 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

	uin	HL3277
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2016 answer text <p>The National Offender Management Service (NOMS), on behalf of the MoJ Department, is responsible for allocating food budgets to all adult public sector prisons across England and Wales. There are separate budget arrangements in place for prisons within the Young Peoples Estate and the private sector. The table below shows the allocated food budget for financial years 2012-13 to 2015-16:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Fiscal Year</p></td><td><p>Allocated Budget</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>£2.10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£1.96</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£2.02</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£2.02</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>For 2016-17, non-pay budgets, including an element for prisoner food, were based on a standard unit cost by prison type, in place of the previous set of standardised budgets. This gave Governors more freedom in allocating non-pay budgets, with the £2.02 figure for prisoner food retained as a guide.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 30/11/2016 17:49:53 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

This means offenders already face increased penalties, within statutory maximum terms.</p><p> </p><p>The charging standard is a joint document agreed by the police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to assist prosecutors and police officers in selecting the most appropriate charge. The charging decision in this case was made by the police.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 06/02/2017 16:03:11 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

	legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they propose to take in relation to the growth in the number of suicides in prisons in the light of the observations of the Prison Service Ombudsman’s description of the deaths as "utterly unacceptable", as reported in <i>The Guardian</i> on 18 October.
	tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
	uin	HL2257
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Every death in custody is a tragedy, and the Government is committed to reducing the number of self-inflicted deaths in prisons. All prisons are required to have procedures in place to identify, manage and support people who are at risk of harm to themselves. These procedures include the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process, which is a prisoner-centred, flexible care planning system for prisoners identified as at risk of suicide or self-harm. Prisons are also required to ensure that they have procedures in place to learn from deaths in custody to prevent future occurrences.</p><p> </p><p>We are working hard to understand the reasons for the recent rise in the number of self-inflicted deaths, but there is no simple explanation. Additional resources and support are being provided for safer custody work in prisons, and in particular to improve the consistency of the ACCT system. The National Offender Management Service has also put in place additional staff at regional level to support staff in prisons and to share good practice, and created a dedicated learning and knowledge management team at headquarters which is providing further support for safer custody work.</p><p> </p><p>Data on deaths in custody is published quarterly in the Safety in Custody Statistics Bulletin, available at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safety-in-custody-statistics" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/safety-in-custody-statistics</a>.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 04/11/2014 15:47:01 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
