The reports, which date back to 2010, include statistics on the number of resolvable requests (requests where it would have been possible to provide a substantive response) where the information was withheld in full.

answer text <p>This information is not held centrally. To obtain this information each Ministry of Justice business area would need to review every Freedom of Information request it had handled since 2010 to establish if any legal fees had been paid and, if they had, if any of those fees related to cases where the information had been withheld. Therefore, it would only be possible to provide this information at disproportionate cost.</p> more like this

answer text The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) rewards individuals for exceptional contributions which further the aims and objectives of the department or meet an exceptional shorter-term operational challenge. The MoJ currently offers two types of reward and recognition: cash awards and voucher awards. Cash awards are payments of non-consolidated performance pay for amounts of up to £100 for a once-off contribution or payments of £100 - £500 for sustained outstanding contribution. Voucher awards are vouchers up to the value of £50 to recognise outstanding once-off contributions, or contributions which a benchmarking panel considers deserve recognition but do not warrant a higher payment. For the financial year April 2013 to March 2014 4,555 cash awards were made, the total value of which was £968,751. 21,898 vouchers were awarded, the total value of which was £639,260. Information on reward and recognition is collated on an annual basis so the data for March 2014 to date is not currently available. Like other organisations, we use a full range of pay and reward mechanisms which will reward exceptional performance from our staff both in year and for a sustained level of performance over the year. Both ensure responsible use of public money. Since 2010 we have reduced our spend on instant rewards by almost 30%, with significant saving for the taxpayer.

answer text <p>The Government is committed to making sure that when people separate they do it in the best possible way. Too many people end up fighting expensive and confrontational court battles when they could be helped to resolve their problems outside the courts. However when people do end up in court it is imperative that they have the right advice and information.</p><p> </p><p>The new package of support which I announced on 23 October is aimed at keeping disputes away from court, while those who end up in court will be provided with better support. The £2m funding identified in the announcement will be used to support the increase of legal and practical support for litigants in person in the civil and family courts. This strategy has been agreed with the legal and advice sectors and we are working with them on implementation.</p><p>The funding will not be used to support improvements to the DWP's Sorting out Separation website. This is because we are already working closely with DWP to improve and refine Sorting out Seperation. The DWP has appointed commercial providers with digital expertise to run the new contract for strategic development and improvement of the online service and to raise its profile for online search. MoJ and DWP are working closely with providers as their recommendations are implemented.</p>

answer text <p>The ‘supporting separated parents in dispute helpline’ pilot is complementary to the online Sorting out Separation information and advice service. However, the pilot is different because it will test the provision of tailored information and signposting based on a telephone discussion with an experienced Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) professional. The Cafcass professional will signpost separating parents in dispute to sources of information, advice and support appropriate to their circumstances, which could include Sorting out Separation or the Child Maintenance Options online and telephone service, as appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, we are working closely with DWP to improve and refine Sorting out Separation. The DWP has appointed commercial providers with digital expertise to run the new contract for strategic development and improvement of the online service and to raise its profile for online search.
