star this property answer text <p>Following a period of staffing challenges after the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a substantial improvement in the national staffing picture within prisons. The number of Band 3-5 prison officers has increased by 1,634 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) between December 2022 - 2023, and resignation rates have fallen over the same period. This is the result of significant efforts across the agency, including substantial increases in pay for staff and launching our first-ever nationwide advertising campaign. <br> <br> Table One below shows the number of indicative vacancies for Band 3 Prison Officers in the Long Term &amp; High Security Estate (for prisons in the South) for January 2018, January 2019, January 2020, January 2021, January 2022 and January 2023. Data is not held for the period January 2017 and has not been provided.</p><p> </p><p>In reality, many establishments will routinely sit marginally below their Target Staffing level due to normal attrition and time to hire and so we would not expect establishments to run consistently at 100% staffing.</p><p> </p><p>Where prisons are not at their Target Staffing level, these are routinely supplemented (e.g., by using Payment Plus, a form of overtime) which is not accounted for in the indicative vacancy data provided. Use of detached duty, a long-standing mechanism to deploy staff from one prison or region to support another, is also not reflected in the data.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br> Table One: Total Band 3 Prison Officer Indicative Vacancies across Long Term &amp; High Security Estate (LTHSE) South, January 2018 to January 2023</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Month</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Indicative vacancies (FTE)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-18</p></td><td><p>104</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-19</p></td><td><p>14</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-20</p></td><td><p>62</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-21</p></td><td><p>86</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-22</p></td><td><p>127</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-23</p></td><td><p>323</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Notes </strong></p><ul><li>All data is taken from Workforce Planning Tool returns and show the average position across January for each year, adjusted for joiners and leavers in the month.</li><li>Workforce Planning Tool returns are manually completed by Prisons each month and, as with any manual returns, are subject to human error.</li><li>Data shows average resource across the month, adjusted for joiners and leavers in the month.</li><li>The Long Term &amp; High Security Estate South includes: Belmarsh, Isle of Wight, Long Lartin, Swaleside, Whitemoor and Woodhill.</li><li>Indicative vacancies are the difference between Target Staffing levels and Staff in Post at an individual establishment level. Where Staff in Post (FTE) exceeds Target Staffing (FTE) for an establishment, the number of indicative vacancies has been shown as 0 FTE. Indicative vacancies have been summed across establishments to give the number of indicative vacancies for LTHSE South.</li><li>Target Staffing level is the number of staff required to run an optimal regime in each prison. This level is greater than the minimum number of staff required for a prison to operate safely, and includes allowances for staff taking leave, being off sick or being on training.</li><li>The Target Staffing Figures are set on a site-specific basis and vary in size. Over the reporting period in question, Target Staffing levels for the LTHSE estate has increased which in part explains the increase in vacancies.</li><li>Band 3 Prison Officers include 'Prison Officer - Band 3' and 'Prison Officer - Youth Justice Worker - Band 3'.</li><li>Target Staffing levels are established based on a 39-hour working week. Staff in Post (FTE) is set at 1.0 FTE for those on a 39-hour contract / 1.05 FTE for those on a 41-hour contract and 0.95 FTE for those on a 37-hour contract.</li><li>Target Staffing levels cannot be used to directly calculate vacancies due to the discretion governors have to change establishment level staffing requirements through Governors' Freedoms. As a result, the Ministry of Justice does not regularly present vacancy data and the data presented should be treated with caution.</li><li>Staff in Post data used to calculate an indicative number of vacancies does not take into account those on long-term absences (e.g. career breaks / loans / secondments / agency staff or other forms of overtime).</li><li>Where prisons are not at their Target Staffing level, these are routinely supplemented (e.g., by using Payment Plus, a form of overtime) which is not accounted for in the indicative vacancy data provided. Use of detached duty, a long-standing mechanism to deploy staff from one prison or region to support another, is also not reflected in the data.</li></ul><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government does not recognise the concept of “parental alienation” and does not accept that it is a syndrome capable of diagnosis.</p><p>In his judgment in the case of <em>Re C</em> the President of the Family Division detailed that the courts focus should be on the “identification of ‘alienating behaviour’” rather than seeking “to determine whether the label ‘parental alienation’ can be applied”. In providing advice to the court, Cafcass does not recognise “parental alienation” and instead looks at the individual behaviours of a parent. In cases where a child is resistant, or refuses, to see a parent Cafcass Family Court Advisers must first consider whether domestic abuse or other forms of harmful parenting are a contributing factor.</p><p>The Government is aware of concerns of about unregulated “parental alienation” experts being instructed in the family courts. To address this issue, we are working with the Family Procedure Rule Committee to make changes to the Family Procedure Rules and their associated Practice Directions to prevent the instruction of these unregulated experts.</p>

star this property answer text <p>This Government is committed to improving the criminal justice system’s response to rape. In 2019, we commissioned our end-to-end Rape Review, publishing this in 2021 alongside a clear Action Plan that committed to delivering sustained improvements for victims. In this Action Plan, we set ourselves stretching ambitions to return the volumes of adult rape cases being referred by the police, charged by the CPS, and going to court back to 2016 levels by the end of this Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>We have exceeded each of these ambitions ahead of schedule. In practice, this means we have more than doubled the volumes of police referrals, charges, and cases reaching court compared to when the Review was commissioned in 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Increases to conviction volumes or conviction rates were not included as ambitions for the Rape Review. The right to a fair trial means that juries should rightly make decisions independently and based on the facts of the case.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst not being a Rape Review ambition, the Ministry of Justice does hold data on convictions for rape offences.</p><p> </p><p>Published data for calendar years (from 2010 to 2022) can be found in the following tool: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65bcce7b63a23d0013c820f5/outcomes-by-offence-2022-revised.xlsx" target="_blank">Outcomes by Offence tool: December 2022</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The most recent published data available, providing data for the years ending in June from 2011 until 2023, can be found in the following tool: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65bd0675704282000d752143/outcomes-by-offence-june-2023.xlsx" target="_blank">Outcomes by Offence tool: June 2023</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The full calendar year for 2023 will be available in the next update of the Outcomes by Offence tool, expected in May 2024.</p><p> </p><p>This can be accessed by navigating to the ‘<em>Prosecutions and convictions</em>’ tab and using the <em>Offence</em> filter to select the following offences in the Outcomes by Offence data tool:</p><ul><li>19C Rape of a female aged 16 or over</li><li>19D Rape of a female aged under 16</li><li>19E Rape of a female child under 13 by a male</li><li>19F Rape of a male aged 16 or over</li><li>19G Rape of a male aged under 16</li><li>19H Rape of a male child under 13 by a male</li></ul><p> </p><p>To cover the full period requested, previously unpublished convictions for rape offences from 2005 to 2009 have now been provided in Table 1.</p><p> </p><p>It is not advised to use this data to calculate conviction rate (the number of convictions as a proportion of the number of prosecutions).

star this property answer text <p>In the case of recalled standard determinate sentence and extended sentence offenders, the Secretary of State has an executive power to re-release them, if he considers that the statutory release test is met - that is, that it is no longer necessary on the grounds of public protection for the offender to remain confined.
