answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2016 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister has made clear, this government is committed to improving the treatment of female offenders. We are looking into options including tagging, problem solving courts and alternative resettlement units to improve our care for female offenders. This is particularly important if they are pregnant or have young children.</p><p> </p><p>We are working with local areas to encourage a more effective joined-up multi-agency approach to address the often complex needs of female offenders. We have awarded £200k in grant funding to pilot the development of these partnership models. It is hoped that this early intervention will allow the diversion of some offenders and the use of robust alternatives to custody, where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/06/2016 14:43:31 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
