Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) has set up a new team within its assurance function that is responsible for co-ordinating the response to HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) reports.<\/p>
<\/p>
The team has developed a risk based, three-tiered approach to monitoring progress against HMIP recommendations. Establishments are now subject to self-assessment exercises, face to face challenge meetings, or in depth follow up audits to determine how well they have responded to recommendations from their most recent HMIP inspection. The analysis of this work is provided to the Prison Management Committee and the Agency Leadership Team, to inform HMPPS on how well prisons are responding to HMIP recommendations, and to identify areas where progress is of concern.<\/p>
<\/p>
The HMPPS assurance teams also carry out audit visits ahead of HMIP Independent Reviews of Progress and regularly meet with HMIP colleagues to review progress made on implementing recommendations<\/p>
<\/p>
The HMPPS Prison Group Director structure is designed to improve support to prisons through smaller groups with closer oversight and grip of assurance processes, including implementation of HMIP recommendations.<\/p>"}

Governor autonomy over curriculum and budget was a key recommendation of Dame Sally Coates\u2019 review of prison education in 2016, alongside other recommendations to ensure high standards across the estate. The Government has taken these recommendations on board and taken steps to further improve the consistency of education and training across the prison estate, whilst at the same time providing more autonomy for governors.<\/p>
<\/p>
On 1 April 2019, we introduced a new Prison Education and Library Services Policy Framework in England that outlines the elements of service delivery that governors are duty bound to follow to ensure consistency. This includes, but is not limited to; mandatory assessments in maths and English for all prisoners, screening for Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (LDD) and ensuring that staff delivering learning receive effective Continuing Professional Development.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, we have introduced a new core common curriculum of English, maths, ICT and English for speakers of other languages. We have also appointed four Common Awarding Organisations (City & Guilds; OCR; WAMITAB and Gateway Qualifications) in seven subjects. This means that a prisoner who starts a qualification in one prison will be able to complete it at another, rather than starting again as they move across the prison estate. This will also enable prisoners to follow their personal learning plan throughout the prison estate.<\/p>
<\/p>
Standards and consistency will ultimately be ensured through robust, regular inspections by Ofsted, which holds prisons to the same standards as mainstream further education provision and an accountability measure, which is under development.<\/p>"}

The Ministry of Justice has published information on the number of women sentenced to immediate custody for theft from shops offences, and the length of these sentences in the Outcomes by Offence data tool available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/802314/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2018.xlsx<\/a><\/p> <\/p>
Select \u201946 Theft from Shops\u2019 in the Offence filter<\/p>
Select \u201902: Female\u2019 in the Sex filter<\/p>
<\/p>
The total women sentenced to immediate custody can be found in row 36 and custodial sentence lengths can be found in row 56 onwards.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Ministry of Justice does not have a specific classification for (i) non-violent and non-sexual offences and (ii) violent and sexual offences, as offences are classified by indictable or summary offence groupings and prosecutions are counted for principal offences. Broad indictable groups for \u201901: Violence against the person\u2019 and \u201902: Sexual offences\u2019 can be displayed using the Offence group filter in the above data tool for violent and sexual offences; all other offence groups would broadly cover non-violent and non-sexual offences. However, note that some offences that would be classified as violence (such as common assault and battery) are counted in the summary offences category.<\/p>
<\/p>
Please note that the figures given in the pivot table relate to defendants for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with.<\/p>"}
