From 3 November last year the first single session of mediation is publicly funded in all cases where one of the people involved is already legally aided. The ‘First Stop: Family Mediation’ campaign which ran between January and March this year was designed to raise awareness of the benefits of family mediation. The campaign saw an increase of 340% in the number of visitors to the Family Mediation Council (FMC) website and a 45% increase to the ‘find a mediator’ page on their website. We will continue to look at ways in which family mediation can be promoted as a quicker, cheaper and more effective ways for parties to resolve disputes over an application through the court.</p><p>We are working with the mediation sector and regulators to investigate how we can strengthen out of court agreements (or ‘memorandum of understandings’) to encourage people to mediate. .</p><p>We will also consult with all relevant stakeholders to look at ways in which new family mediation contracts can be improved to help encourage more parties to participate in family mediation.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 16/07/2015 10:00:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2015 answer text <p>The number of prisoners released on Home Detention Curfew (HDC) in England and Wales has fallen in recent years. This is principally due to the reduction in the number of prisoners eligible for the scheme.</p><br /><p>The Ministry of Justice only collates data on the number of prisoners released on HDC who are then recalled to prison for breach of their curfew conditions and this data is only available for England and Wales as a whole. It would incur disproportionate cost to isolate from this overall data those recalled prisoners who had been released on HDC from prisons in Devon.</p><br /><p>This data is published and can be located at the following link (table A3.5 details HDC recalls):</p><br /> <br /><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/424903/prison-releases-annual-2014.xlsx" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/424903/prison-releases-annual-2014.xlsx</a></p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous grouped question UIN 16340 16341 question first answered 19/11/2015 13:58:19 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
