answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>The Childbase database is no longer live and ceased to be active in 2011. All forces have access to the National Hash Set Database which houses images seen and categorised by UK forces. We are developing a national capability for collecting, assessing and storing indecent images of children (IIOC) for law enforcement agencies. This capability will also be used to provide hash set data to the internet industry, to allow them to remove these appalling images from their networks. The child abuse image database (CAID) will be operational by the end of 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 27/10/2014 16:53:54 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning previous answer version 24348 answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Home Office does not hold this information centrally. <br><br>The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) published data for 2012/13 showing that 263 children and young people aged under 18 were detained in police custody under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983, out of a total of 7,761 people detained in police cells under Section 136 that year. This was the first time this data was collected from police forces and the HSCIC have indicated that this data is incomplete as not all police forces responded and some police force returns were based on estimates.<br><br>The Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat, published by the Government in February this year, includes an action for the Home Office and the National Police Lead for Mental Health to develop a data toolkit to enable the police to quantify the demand for responses to people in mental health crisis, including whether a person is detained in police custody. The toolkit is currently being tested by the Metropolitan Police Service, British Transport Police and Thames Valley Police with a view to subsequent roll-out across forces in England and Wales. <br><br>The Home Office is working with the Department of Health on a review of the operation of Sections 135 and 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983. This is with a view to ensuring that young people with mental health problems are not unnecessarily detained in police custody. We aim to publish a joint report later this year.</p><p /> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/09/2014 13:45:33 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning previous answer version 18305 answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

The use of cautions is at its lowest point for thirty years.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">We are changing the law to ban simple cautions for all of the indictable only offences - the most serious criminal offences which must be tried in the Crown Court, including rape, manslaughter and robbery. We are also banning simple cautions for possession of a knife or offensive weapon, supplying Class A drugs and a range of sexual offences against children. </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">Further, we announced proposals in November 2014 for a new out of court disposal framework that would see an end to cautions and warnings and would require offenders to take actions to comply with their disposals. Elements of this new framework are being piloted in Staffordshire, West Yorkshire and Leicestershire before a decision is taken on whether to implement the new framework across England and Wales. </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The Ministry of Justice issues guidance on the process to be followed by the police when they are administering simple cautions for adult offenders. The latest guidance, issued in November 2013 following the Simple Cautions Review, states that the use of a simple caution for indictable-only offences, such as rape, should only be given following authorisation by a senior police officer of at least the rank of Superintendent and the Crown Prosecution Service. These will be cases where there are exceptional circumstances which would mean that it is not in the public interest to prosecute.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"> Latest information on cautions issued by offence type is publicly available online at the Ministry of Justice’s statistics portal.

The Ministry of Justice issues guidance on the process to be followed by the police and the CPS when they are administering simple cautions for adult offenders.
