uin	134361
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2018 answer text <p>An HMPPS instruction (PSI 17/2016) advises Pre-sentence report (PSR) writers must consider requesting a full adjournment for the preparation of a PSR where a custodial sentence outcome appears likely, and an offender discloses that they are transgender, on the basis that transgender people may have more complex needs. This guidance is included in the Equal Treatment Bench Book chapter on transgender, published by the Judicial Office. Additionally, a local Transgender Case Board should be convened, either during pre-sentence report preparation or within three working days of reception into custody, to assess and determine the most appropriate location and initial care and management plan for the transgender individual in custody.</p><p> </p><p>Regardless of where a transgender individual is being held, we expect that they will be respected and addressed in the gender with which they identify; and we are committed to ensuring that they are treated fairly, lawfully and decently.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 04/04/2018 15:23:17 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

In 2016/17, missing incidents were reported for 10,700 children, some of whom will have multiple missing incidents.</p><p>This information was collected for the first time in 2014-15 and so figures for earlier years are not available.</p><p>These statistics are experimental statistics based on data collected for the first time in 2015 and should be treated with caution as local councils’ recording of this information is improving over time. The figures are therefore not comparable between years and any assessment of trends should take this into account. The information provided does not mean that the number of children going missing is increasing in the volumes indicated in the table.</p><p>Local councils have improved their reporting of missing incidents through increased collaboration with partner organisations and carers, updated recording systems, and further training for carers to improve understanding of reporting processes.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 06/04/2018 15:57:21 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi attachment 1 file name 134364 Table.xlsx title Children looked after who were missing
