answer text <p>The Government has developed a comprehensive package of police integrity reforms following two independent reviews and public consultations, and extensive consultation with policing stakeholders. An impact assessment was published during the passage of the Policing and Crime Act 2017.</p><p>Following the introduction of public misconduct hearings in public, with legally qualified chairs (2015), the Government has extended the police discipline system to former officers and introduced the police barred list (December 2017). In January 2018, reforms to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) were implemented, streamlining decision-making and creating the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Investigation times have fallen since these changes were introduced.</p><p>The next phase of reforms will build on these changes, overhauling the police complaints and discipline systems. Changes to simplify processes, for example when making decisions on a case to answer, will make the system more efficient and the police and IOPC will be required to provide a written explanation if an investigation goes beyond 12 months and set out next steps. The police discipline system is being reformed to make it more transparent, including requiring more information to be provided to officers under investigation, and focusing it more on conduct that would warrant a disciplinary sanction, establishing a more proportionate process for matters that fall below that threshold</p><p><br>These reforms will be introduced when Parliamentary time allows.</p>

answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice’s annual collection of data from coroners does not include the number of adjourned investigations which are resumed after a murder trial. The number of such cases will be low, however, because the coroner has to have sufficient reason for resuming the investigation and a criminal trial will often cover the statutory questions which the coroner is required to address.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry’s data collection does include the number of cases <em>not</em> resumed after an adjournment, broken down by sub-groups including murder. The table below shows the number of adjourned murder inquests which coroners decided not to resume from 2013 to 2017.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Murder Inquests Adjourned and Not Resumed</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>333</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>296</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>287</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>262</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>326</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Coroners Statistics 2017, MoJ publication</p>

answer text <p>The government is committed to ensuring that all children get the help and support they need to live happy and fulfilled lives. The individual circumstances and needs of every child with a parent in custody can be very different, as will the necessary support.</p><p>Where a parent is in prison, we are committed to strengthening family ties, which can have benefits both for reducing re-offending and, where contact is appropriate, for the welfare of children. To ensure that children can visit parents in prison, the Assisted Prison Visits Unit can provide financial assistance to families in Wales and England in receipt of certain benefits or on a low income. Additionally, the Ministry of Justice has a range of measures to help strengthen and maintain communication and engagement between prisoners and their families. These include facilitating family days alongside programmes to promote family engagement and parenting to aid an individual’s rehabilitation.</p><p>The Ministry of Justice, in partnership with Barnado’s, operates the National Information Centre on Children of Offenders website, which provides information for all professionals who come into contact with the children and families of offenders.</p><p>The needs of children with parents in prison are likely to be seen in the school environment. In England, the statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ is clear that school staff should consider the additional needs of children with parents in prison. The guidance highlights the fact that these children are at risk of poor outcomes including poverty, stigma, isolation and poor health. Education in Wales is a matter for the Welsh Government.</p><p>Many children of offenders will be disadvantaged and need support. Children’s services in Wales are a matter for the Welsh Government. In England, local authorities are best placed to identify, assess and respond to these needs: a child who has a parent in prison could receive early help from a range of agencies, or support from children’s social care if there are safeguarding or welfare concerns such that the local authority assesses that this is needed. The duties and procedures that individuals and agencies should follow are set out in the statutory guidance ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’.</p>
