BOLD is a £19.7m cross government Shared Outcomes Fund project which will link data to enable better evidenced and more joined up cross government services. The Programme concludes in March 2024.</p><p>Through BOLD, we will explore data sharing to improve our understanding of the number of children with parents in prison and how parental incarceration impacts children’s outcomes, including education, employment and future offending.</p><p>Changes have been made to the Basic Custody Screening Tool to enable us to collect data on entry to prison about how many primary carers are in custody and how many children under the age of 18 are affected by their imprisonment. The learning from the data collected will be incorporated into the findings from the BOLD programme.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 08/02/2023 17:56:20 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2023 answer text <p>Cases involving young defendants are given priority, irrespective of the court in which they appear, and youth cases are continually reviewed to ensure that they are progressed as quickly as possible.</p><p>There were 8,099 youth outstanding cases in magistrates' courts in England and Wales as at the end of September 2022, the most recent time period available. This includes any case involving a defendant under the age of 18 heard in the magistrates’ courts, not just those heard in the Youth Court. It is not possible to separate out statistics for the latter.</p><p>At any one time there will always be outstanding cases – those for which evidence is being prepared for example. Other than the increase in cases due to Covid in 2020, the number of current cases is broadly in line with those over recent years and we do not anticipate any adverse impact on the youth justice system.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 08/02/2023 17:54:39 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

uin	136697
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2023 answer text <p>Currently, this question could only be answered at disproportionate costs.</p><p>His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) maintains a record of previous offending for supervised offenders, drawn from court records and other reliable sources of information. To publish a complete record of previous criminal convictions for every offender who is convicted of a serious further offence (SFO), would need to comply with the Statutory Code on the Publication of Official Statistics.</p><p>SFOs are incredibly rare, with fewer than 0.5% of offenders supervised by the Probation Service going on to commit an SFO but each one is investigated fully so we can take action where necessary. We have also injected extra funding of more than £155 million a year into the Probation Service to deliver tougher supervision, reduce caseloads and recruit thousands more staff to keep the public safer.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 08/02/2023 17:51:21 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
