answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The impact of face-to-face meetings between ex-offenders and National Probation Service (NPS) officials is not formally assessed. Both NPS and Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) staff use their professional judgement to determine the required frequency and most appropriate form of supervision.</p><p>Remote supervision should not be used as the only means by which an offender is supervised, which is why we have recently amended CRC contracts to ensure all offenders under supervision in the community are offered face-to-face contact with their Responsible Officer at least once a month. Data on this measure will be published on 24 April 2019.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 29/04/2019 16:28:25 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
