	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2019 answer text <p>Table A attached sets out the total funding the Youth Justice Board (YJB) has given to local authorities in each year from 2009/10 to 2017/18 as published in the 2017/18 annual youth justice statistics (published totals for 2018/19 are not yet available). Table B breaks this down by local authority. The majority of this funding helps support the day-to-day business of Youth Offending Teams (YOTs), but it also includes some discrete additional grants for specific projects or initiatives, for example funding for restorative justice. The annual recorded value of the additional grants is set out in Table C.</p><p> </p><p>Due to a change in reporting processes the additional grants given in 2014/15 and 2015/16 were not included in the published totals in the 2017/18 youth justice statistics. The totals for these years therefore differ between Table A (where the additional grants are not included) and Table B (where they are included).</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 05/06/2019 17:34:48 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar attachment 1 file name Tables 252658.docx title Table

completed on entry to custody for all prisoners for each calendar year 2015-2018. It therefore will include a mix of those received into custody on remand and those sentenced from court. Using just the BCS, there is no way to determine which of those received into custody on remand were released un-convicted, therefore it is important to stress that this data covers prisoners, and can’t be used to describe offenders, as some of those counted will ultimately not have been found guilty of any offence.</p><p>2) NFA on reception is determined where the answer to question B3.1 OR B3.4 on the BCS has been answered as ‘NFA’. If B3.1 is answered NFA then B3.4 isn’t made available to be answered, so it is not possible to double count NFA within the same BCS.</p><p>3) The two questions are: B3.1 – What was your accommodation status before prison &amp; B3.4 – What type of housing did you live in before you came to prison</p><p>4) These questions from the BCS Part 1 are recorded as per the prisoner’s answers and are not assessed.</p><p>5) The total number of prisoners shown is for the number of fully completed BCS Part 1s for each year, based on the Reception Date for each prisoner.</p><p>6) A proportion of prisoners will enter custody multiple times each year and for this PQ all responses have been included as a prisoner may provide different answers to these questions over time.</p><p>The figures have not been checked by statistician</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 05/06/2019 16:50:57 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
