answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>It is standard practice for the Major Projects Authority (MPA) to undertake assessments of major projects and programmes, such as the Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) reforms to the Probation Service. The MPA has had full access to the TR programme documentation, and the MPA’s assessments, which are focused on assuring delivery of the reforms, are provided in confidence to the programme leadership. In order not to prejudice commercial interests, there are no plans to publish the MPA assessment in the House of Commons Library.</p><p> </p><p>The programme of reforms is on track. We are currently managing the competition which will appoint the owners of the 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs). We have a healthy competition across all areas with over 80 bidders and an average of 4 bidders per contract package area. Bids are currently being rigorously assessed, and we are on track to announce the contract winners for each CRC by the end of 2014.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 11/09/2014 15:42:36 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

The standard of corporate parenting is subject to regular review as part of Ofsted inspection. In particular, Ofsted judgements about the quality of leadership assess the extent to which the local authority is an active, strong and committed corporate parent that knows the children and young people it looks after well; is an effective and successful champion of their progress (particularly in education and learning); and an ambitious corporate parent, ensuring that each child has every opportunity to succeed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We recognise that effective corporate parenting is everyone’s business and have consequently funded work by the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) to raise awareness of corporate parenting among elected members. This project brings local authority members and Directors of Children’s Services together with children in care councils to enhance the voice of the child and spread good practice. The project has also produced training materials which are available to all local authorities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 05/09/2014 13:49:12 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
