answer text <p>Closeness to home is one of a number of factors considered when choosing where to place prisoners. We also consider other factors such as length of sentence, security category and offending behaviour requirements.</p><p> </p><p>The following table shows how many women with a Welsh origin address are serving sentences in Eastwood Park prison. This is based on data as at 30 September 2017.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Sentence Status</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(1) Sent</p></td><td><p>50</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(2) Sent 12m -</p></td><td><p>38</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(3) Sent 4 y+</p></td><td><p>18</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(4) IPP</p></td><td><p>≤5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(5) Life</p></td><td><p>≤5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(6) Recall</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(7) Unknown</p></td><td><p>≤5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>125</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>If a request is made for information and the total figure amounts to five people or fewer, the MoJ must consider whether this could lead to the identification of individuals and whether disclosure of this information would be in breach of our statutory obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). We believe that the release of some of this information would risk identification of the individuals concerned. For this reason, MoJ has chosen not to provide an exact figure where the true number falls between one and five. However, it should not be assumed that the actual figure represented falls at any particular point within this scale; '≤5' is used as a replacement value from which it would be difficult to isolate or extract any individual data.</p><p> </p><p>It is important to stress that it is not possible to infer from an address in Wales that an individual considers themselves Welsh. HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) cannot identify English and Welsh prisoners. Someone with an address, for example in London, may well consider themselves to be Welsh, while someone with an address in Wales may not. UK nationals have a nationality of British. Therefore the data shown are not necessarily representative of those who identify as English or Welsh. The results are sorted by origin address (home address on reception into custody) and not nationality. English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are not captured on our database as separate nationalities.</p><p> </p><p>Around 97% of prisoners have an origin location - i.e. addresses that are recorded in our central IT system. If no address is given, an offender’s committal court address is used as a proxy for the area in which they are resident. This information is included in the data provided in the tables above. Those with no recorded origin are typically foreign nationals or those recently received into custody. No address has been recorded and no court information is available for around 3% of all offenders; these figures are excluded from the tables attached.</p><p> </p><p>The numerical information provided has been drawn from administrative IT systems, which as with any large scale recording system are subject to possible error with data entry and processing. Further guidance on the considerations for processing a request under FOIA, can be found by following the links: <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/36/contents" target="_blank">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/36/contents</a> and <a href="http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/foi-step-by-step.htm" target="_blank">http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/foi-step-by-step.htm</a></p><p> </p><p>Female prisons HMP/YOI Eastwood Park and HMP/YOI Styal, which both hold a number of Welsh offenders, employ Welsh speaking members of staff and provide written information in Welsh. On release offenders from Wales also have access to Through The Gate services including help with accommodation, employment and training to help them adjust to life outside prison and prevent reoffending.</p>

answer text <p>We recognise victims of domestic violence have complex needs arising from long-term trauma or abuse, resulting in multiple disadvantages. We are fully committed to ensuring that no victim of domestic abuse is turned away from the support they need or are at risk of homelessness.</p><p>Since 2014, we have provided £33.5 million in funding for refuges, safe accommodation and other services for victims of domestic abuse and their children. For example, we are funding 80 projects across the country to provide safe accommodation and support services to victims of domestic abuse through our 2016-2018 £20 million domestic abuse fund, of which over 30 projects are focusing on improving access to support for women experiencing multiple disadvantages.</p><p>At Autmn Budget 2017, we also announced £28 million of funding to pilot the Housing First approach for the individuals with complex needs who are homeless, which could include victims of domestic abuse.</p><p>In addition, we have established a cross-Government Complex Needs Group, to develop a shared approach to support for vulnerable victims of domestic abuse with complex needs.</p>

These reforms include the creation of a single, expert unit in the Home Office to handle all cases referred to the NRM and decision about whether someone is a victim of modern slavery. This will replace the current case management units in the National rime Agency and the UK Visa and Immigration and will be separate from the immigration system. In addition, a multi-agency panel will be set up to monitor and quality assure negative decisions.</p>

answer text <p>The Department plans to advance the timing of all payments where people would be impacted by bank holidays, to ensure they have money over the festive period, also supporting those customers who request an advance payment during this time and minimising any impact on claimants for the brief period when the Universal Credit helpline is closed. This includes the careful assessment of technical system and banking system availability to ensure successful payments can be made. This year we have enhanced the functionality and added a faster payment contingency function in Universal Credit.</p> more like this
