answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2024 answer text <p>Prisoners released on SDS40 will be subject to licence and liable to recall to prison if they do not comply or are judged a risk to public safety. Reoffending rates are published regularly on an annual and quarterly basis. The most recent rates are available at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/proven-reoffending-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/proven-reoffending-statistics</a>.</p><p>A critical element of reducing reoffending is ensuring offenders leaving prison can access the support they need to resettle effectively into the community. There are clear processes in place to ensure all releases are carefully managed by Prison and Probation staff. An offender’s resettlement needs are assessed on their arrival into the prison estate, with appropriate provision arranged in advance of release. When the release date is changed, as is the case with SDS40, this provision is realigned to that new release date.</p><p>As with any offender being released, where victims are receiving the services of the Victim Contact Scheme (VCS) or the Victim Notification Scheme (VNS), they will be informed about the release of an offender.</p> answering member constituency Scunthorpe answering member printed Sir Nicholas Dakin question first answered 03/09/2024 15:22:05 answering member 4056 label Biography information for Nic Dakin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2024 answer text <p>The change to the Standard Determinate Sentence release point was the only option to prevent the imminent collapse of the Criminal Justice System and ensure we protect the public.</p><p>The amended release point is applicable to eligible sentences only. Certain offences have been excluded from this change. This includes sex offences irrespective of sentence length; serious violent offences with a sentence of four years or more; specified offences linked to domestic abuse irrespective of sentence length (including stalking, coercive or controlling behaviour and non-fatal strangulation); as well as offences concerning national security. The change will also not apply to sentences subject to release at the discretion of the Parole Board or to offences which currently attract automatic release from an SDS at the two-thirds point (certain serious sexual and violent offences).</p><p>Some offenders will have a mixture of eligible and ineligible offences. Whether an offender is released early or not depends on their other sentences, and how they were imposed by the court to be served consecutively or concurrently.</p><p>The number of revised releases for those currently in custody are being recalculated to ensure probation and prison staff have time to prepare proper plans for their release. This data is being provided at local authority level to align with service provider boundaries, and therefore is not being provided at a constituency level.</p> answering member constituency Scunthorpe answering member printed Sir Nicholas Dakin question first answered 04/09/2024 16:11:14 answering member 4056 label Biography information for Nic Dakin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/09/2024 answer text <p>Rape and sexual violence are devastating crimes that can have life-long impacts on victims and survivors. This Government is fully committed to supporting victims and survivors, and that is why we have made it a priority to halve violence against women and girls.</p><p>The Ministry of Justice funds a range of support services for victims and survivors of sexual violence, both through direct grant funding to organisations (such as the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund) and through funding to Police and Crime Commissioners. These services offer tailored support to victims and survivors of all ages to help them cope with their experiences and move forward with their lives. These services complement the wider support system across Government, such as NHS England-funded Sexual Assault Referral Centres.</p><p>Funding after March 2025 will be agreed through the next Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Pontypridd answering member printed Alex Davies-Jones question first answered 02/09/2024 12:53:11 answering member 4849 label Biography information for Alex Davies-Jones
