answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2019 answer text <p>There are many statutory protections that support vulnerable victims and witnesses in the criminal courts, for example banning cross examination of rape complainants by the defendant. In addition, a number of special measures can be applied for by the CPS to further support a victim or witness who is intimidated or vulnerable, for example the provision of protective screens.</p><p> </p><p>Such applications are considered by the trial judge. Should circumstances change during the trial it is possible for a late (or second) application to be made. Where applications are refused, it may be possible to appeal at the Court of Appeal or, in certain exceptional circumstances, to seek a judicial review.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 28/06/2019 13:17:27 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2019 answer text <p>Detached Duty (DD) is one of the sensible and proportionate measures we take to ensure we run safe and decent regimes in prisons and respond appropriately to any operational issues that arise. The deployment of staff between prisons on DD is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing; the number of Prison Officers deployed on DD varies from one week to the next in order to reflect operational circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Detached Duty is allocated on a cycle (4 week average) rather than on a month by month basis. Annex A shows the average number of staff deployed in each Detached Duty cycle in 2018.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 28/06/2019 11:13:51 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland attachment 1 file name Annex A - IPP Release in error v2.docx title Annex A
