	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2023 answer text <p>The Youth Justice Grant is distributed to Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) by the Youth Justice Board (YJB), on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, for the operation and provision of youth justice services. Though varying by YOT, on average the grant makes up around a third of the funding YOTs receive. Local authorities and partner agencies provide the rest of their funding.</p><p>The youth justice system works to prevent offending and reoffending by children (those aged 10-17) and this Government has driven and overseen a number of achievements. In the year ending March 2022, the number of first time entrants was 8,000, which is a 78% fall from the year ending March 2012. Over the same period, the average youth custody population fell by 77% to an average of 450, and the proven reoffending rate fell to 31.2%.</p><p>We want to go further still to drive and oversee the youth justice system. The MoJ introduced a new set of Key Performance Indicators in April 2023 so as to provide greater insight of how the youth justice system is operating.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/06/2023 11:20:43 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2023 answer text <p>The Women’s Community Sector Core Costs Funding Grant 2020-21 provided one-off grants to women’s community sector organisations to stabilise their financial position and ensure the continued availability of community-based support for women in or at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. Each organisation that received funding signed a grant agreement that included a requirement to provide a monitoring report following the conclusion of the grant funding period. The monitoring report required organisations to report on whether the grant had: enabled additional support for service users; had improved or expanded partnership working; and the impact on the organisation’s financial sustainability. We have recently awarded further core costs grant funding for the period 2022 to 2025 and we will be further developing the evidence base for the effectiveness of this type of funding through monitoring and evaluation of outcomes and performance.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 04/07/2023 09:55:24 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
