The Government raised the legal test for remanding a child to custody in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. A child must have committed a violent or sexual offence or have been charged with an offence where an adult may receive a custodial sentence of 14 years, and the court must consider it very likely that the child will receive a custodial sentence.</p><p>Any person under the age of 18 will not be remanded in an adult prison. Instead, they are remanded into Young Offender Institutions (YOIs), a Secure Training Centre (STC), or Secure Children’s Homes (SCHs). Specific placement decisions for custodial remands are made by the Youth Custody Service (YCS), factoring in the needs of the child.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 25/04/2024 11:29:46 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>Operation Tornado is a national mutual aid plan by which prisons support one another in the event of a serious incident or occurrence requiring a reinforcement of staff. Operation Tornado is employed by HMPPS for three main reasons:</p><ul><li>In response to a serious incident requiring a reinforcement of staff.</li><li>In response to other events or crisis requiring additional staff, who may not necessarily need to be Tornado trained.</li><li>To aid the transfer of prisoners in the event of a serious incident or the threat of one (with the GOLD commander’s agreement).</li></ul><p>HMPPS aims to have 2,100 volunteers trained in readiness for Operation Tornado. Since the inception of Operation Tornado in the late 1980s, HMPPS has allocated a commitment to each prison for how many Tornado staff they should have trained. HMPPS monitors the number of staff available for deployment and offer training spaces to ensure resilience to respond to serious incidents.</p><p>In the event of a serious incident, all prisons, including those who have a commitment of zero, receive the same level of support from the Operation Response and Resilience Unit and Tornado trained staff from other prisons if required.</p><p>The requested information is in the table attached.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 25/04/2024 11:28:51 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar attachment 1 file name 2024-04-25 PQ 22578 table.xlsx title PQ_25578_table

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of section 156 (2) of the Police, Crime Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 on levels of attacks on workers undertaking public-facing roles.
	tabling member constituency	East Antrim

	uin	22286
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>Section 156 (2) of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 introduced a new statutory aggravating factor for certain assault offences where they are committed against a person providing a public service, performing a public duty, or providing services to the public. The Government introduced this to ensure that the public-facing nature of a victim's role would be considered, allowing the court to give a longer sentence within the statutory maximum for the offence.</p><p>The Ministry of Justice does not collect or publish data on the use of aggravating factors. Currently, there is no specific offence for an attack against a worker undertaking a public-facing role. As assault of a worker in a public-facing role is not a specific offence, we are unable to assess the trends relating to assaults on public-facing workers specifically.</p><p>The Government recognises the seriousness of assaults on workers undertaking public-facing roles and is clear that we must adopt a zero-tolerance approach to assault against those who serve the public. This is why in April 2024, the Government published ‘Fighting Retail Crime: more action’, within which the Government announced plans to introduce a new offence of assault against a shop worker, building on the operational policing commitments in the police-led Retail Crime Action Plan published in October 2023.</p> answering member constituency Newbury answering member printed Laura Farris question first answered 25/04/2024 16:21:28 answering member 4826 label Biography information for Laura Farris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>Education is key for reducing reoffending and research indicates that prison education reduces reoffending by 9 percentage points.

To ensure the right education and vocational training opportunities are available across prisons we have:</p><ul><li>Introduced new Head of Education Skills and Work roles in every prison to provide tailored education plans to meet the needs of their jail.</li><li>Enabled the first ever prisoner apprenticeships in catering and construction through ground-breaking partnerships with Greene King, Kier and Clipper, with talks underway to open up apprenticeships in other industries.</li><li>Recruited Neurodiversity Support Managers in every prison to support offenders with neurodivergent needs in accessing education, skills and work opportunities within the prison.</li><li>Launched a Future Skills programme to train up over 2,000 offenders over the next two years in vital industries such as scaffolding and electrics, before linking them up with employers in the local community and guaranteeing interviews on release.</li><li>We are investing £16 million to test new ways of increasing workshop activity to get prisoners work-ready and improve labour supply.</li><li>£1.8 million in the Literacy Innovation Fund which is delivering pilots in 15 prisons targeting those with low literacy levels.</li></ul><p>I am pleased to say that we have seen positive outcomes in employment in support of our work to make best use of prison capacity.
