answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>Public protection is our priority. The decision to recall on offender on licensed supervision is taken on the professional advice of senior probation staff following consideration of safe alternatives to recall. Where offenders are recalled, it is because they present a risk of serious harm to the public and the controls available are no longer sufficient to keep the public safe. These individuals will remain in prison for only as long as necessary to protect the public.</p><p> </p><p>Reasons for recall are recorded and published as set out in the table below.
