tabling member printed	Liz Saville Roberts
uin	118742
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>While Diversion Schemes have been established in Wales through the Women’s Pathfinder, which diverts low risk women (where appropriate) away from the criminal justice system (CJS) into community support or interventions at point of arrest and voluntary attendees, there is currently no specific Diversion from Custody Scheme available for those convicted. However, the needs of women are always taken into account when National Probation Service officers undertake pre-sentence assessments for courts and a suitable community-based proposal will be recommended for those whose level of risk is assessed as manageable in the community. In line with the development of women’s services in Wales, the development of a diversion from custody scheme will be reviewed alongside the wider Women’s Pathfinder programme of work and the release of the MOJ Strategy for women.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 18/12/2017 15:53:27 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
