star this property answer text <p /> <p>Temporary release can be an important tool in helping prisoners to re-adjust safely and productively to life in the community. It is allowed to prisoners only towards the end of their time in custody and only after a thorough risk assessment. We are changing the approach to temporary release to give even greater weight to public protection and the need for prisoners to demonstrate how the release will aid their rehabilitation and increase their chances of leading a crime free life on release.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners are only allowed to take driving lessons if the licence is required to help their rehabilitation, for example improving future employment prospects, thus reducing their likelihood of re-offending. Prisoners are expected to fund the lessons and tests out of their own pockets but may be offered some assistance in exceptional circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>The following table details the number of prisoners who were released on temporary licence for driving lesson or tests in 2013 by offence type; ie the principal offence for the sentence that they were serving when temporarily released:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Offence group</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Violence</p></td><td><p>89</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sexual</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Robbery</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Burglary</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Theft and Handling</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fraud and Forgery</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Drugs</p></td><td><p>51</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Motoring</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Not known</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>190</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Data Sources and Quality</em>: These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p><p> </p><p>190 offenders were granted temporary release for driving lessons or tests in 2013, compared to 215 in 2008.</p>

star this property answer text <p>All prisons are required to have procedures to identify, manage and support people who are at risk of harm to themselves. A health assessment is undertaken for all prisoners on reception into custody to assess their risk of suicide or self-harm. The prisoner’s Person Escort Record form, which is available to staff on reception, may provide information about concerns of self-harm. When a prisoner is identified as being at-risk of self-harm, they are managed through the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process, which is a prisoner-centred, flexible care planning system.</p><p> </p><p>All relevant risk information is recorded on the Prison NOMIS case management system and on healthcare IT systems where appropriate.

star this property answer text <p>Prior to 2013, when people applied for legal aid they were not asked to declare whether domestic violence had occurred. Since 2013, applications for legal aid do not routinely request this information as it is not relevant to legal aid provision in all categories of case. Therefore the data you request is not available.</p><p> </p><p>People seeking protective injunctions, like restraining orders, remain eligible for legal aid. Legal aid also remains available in private family cases that involve domestic violence. We have listened closely to any concerns about how the system has been operating, and made changes in response, such as making it easier to prove abuse and so get legal aid.</p> more like this
