As per the answer to PQ 184996, please note that offenders may appear both within the caseload figures of court orders (including community orders and suspended sentence orders), and post-release supervision.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies work closely with other agencies to support offenders in the community. When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders. We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members of the public.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 17:01:11 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 11:59:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 188194 - table.xlsx title PQ188194 - Table previous answer version 84891 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
