	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text <p>The Youth Justice Board (YJB) is planning to stipulate the future collection of ethnicity data based on the ‘18+1’ ethnicity categories used in the 2011 Census (which includes ‘Gypsy or Irish Traveller’ as a separate category) as part of its Annual Data Recording Guidance. This guidance will be issued to Local Authority Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) by the start of the new reporting year in April 2017. Once this guidance is issued, YOTs, the YJB and the secure estate will need to make changes to their various IT systems. This requires updating over 150 systems and the technical standards between them.</p><p> </p><p>The YJB estimate that the changes will be implemented by spring 2018. These changes will enable YOTs to report using 18+1 data on all young people receiving a new order, whether or not they were previously known to the YOT.</p><p> </p><p>We will consider dependencies with existing IT systems, both within the youth justice system and with other local IT systems, and identify the feasibility and indicative costs as part of this process.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 06/03/2017 15:37:43 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to extend the terms of reference of Lord Farmer’s review into supporting male prisoners to engage with their families, to female prisoners.

	uin	HL5424
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text <p>Families can play a significant role in supporting an offender; research has found that prisoners who reported improved family relationships over the course of their sentence were less likely to reoffend after release. Positive family relationships have been identified as a protective factor in the desistance from crime.</p><p>Lord Farmer was commissioned to undertake a review of family engagement, concentrating upon male prisoners, who make up the majority of the overall prison population and to also consider lessons that might be learnt from other aspects of the estate, such as the female and youth estates.</p><p>As such the Government is confident that although his report will not explicitly focus upon the female estate, any recommendations or observations that do arise will be taken into account by the female estate.</p><p><strong>We are developing a strategy to improve outcomes for female offenders in custody and in the community, including consideration of family ties, which we will be setting out in due course.</strong></p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 06/03/2017 13:29:08 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
