On 21 May 2019 we announced a public call for evidence led by a panel of experts to gather evidence on how the family courts protect children and parents in cases of domestic abuse and other serious offences.<\/p>

<\/p>

The inaugural panel meeting took place on Friday 14 June 2019. We will shortly be announcing its planned approach for engaging domestic abuse survivors and other key stakeholders, as well the composition of the panel and agreed objectives for the call for evidence.<\/p>

<\/p>

The panel members represent key parties to the issue and will provide expertise from across the Family Justice System. Included are representatives from the Judiciary, academia, social care, policy officials and third sector organisations which represent and advocate for survivors of domestic abuse.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is vital that this call for evidence can contribute to real improvements to the Family Justice System to protect victims and their families. For this reason, the experiences of domestic abuse survivors will be central to the evidence gathered by the panel.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4362", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Argar"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Charnwood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Edward Argar"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-17T16:15:25.897Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Family Courts: Reviews"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans the Government has to conduct evidence-gathering sessions with domestic abuse survivors and charities as part of its review into family courts.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1548", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jessica Morden"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newport East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jessica Morden"} ], "uin" : "263777"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1131736", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1131736/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Question 259337 dealt with the release of children into homelessness. In order to answer that question, there would be a need to check the c.20,300 individual records of children released since 2010 to obtain their accommodation status. We estimate that it would take around two minutes to check each record, which equates to a cost of approximately £16,900.

The Government publishes its Safety in Custody National Statistics bulletin on a quarterly basis, which covers deaths, self-harm and assaults in prison custody in England and Wales.<\/p>

<\/p>

The latest publication is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/safety-in-custody-quarterly-update-to-december-2018<\/a>. Information about incidents of self-harm up to December 2018 can be found by selecting table 2.13<\/strong> in the \u2018Self-harm in prison custody 2000 to 2018\u2019 link. The table is set out by prison and year, and monthly breakdowns can be found by using the \u2018+\u2019 and \u2018-\u2018 functions at the top of the table.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are taking steps to reduce self-harm and self-inflicted death levels by rolling out improved suicide and self-harm training for new and existing staff. Over 25,000 staff have received some training and over 14,000 have received training in all six modules.<\/p>

<\/p>

Violence in prisons remains unacceptably high but there are early signs that we are making progress. Eight of the jails involved in the \u201810 Prisons Project\u2019 saw falls in the final quarter of 2018 \u2013 four of them by more than 25% - while the number of assaults across the estate reduced by 11%.<\/p>

<\/p>

Across the prison estate we have invested an additional £70m in a raft of measures designed to improve safety, security and decency \u2013 including body-scanners, enhanced searches and new investigative teams \u2013 while the 4,700 additional staff we have recruited since October 2016 are making a real difference.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "257391"} , {"_value" : "257408"} , {"_value" : "257628"} , {"_value" : "257634"} , {"_value" : "258894"} , {"_value" : "258905"} , {"_value" : "258912"} , {"_value" : "258919"} , {"_value" : "258929"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128860/answer/previousversion/121131", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-17T16:42:51.343Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Leeds Prison: Self-harm"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many incidents of self-harm there have been at HMP Leeds in each of the last 12 months.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/152", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Iain Duncan Smith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chingford and Woodford Green"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Iain Duncan Smith"} ], "uin" : "258898"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128861", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128861/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government publishes its Safety in Custody National Statistics bulletin on a quarterly basis, which covers deaths, self-harm and assaults in prison custody in England and Wales.<\/p>

<\/p>

The latest publication is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/safety-in-custody-quarterly-update-to-december-2018<\/a>. Information about incidents of self-harm up to December 2018 can be found by selecting table 2.13<\/strong> in the \u2018Self-harm in prison custody 2000 to 2018\u2019 link. The table is set out by prison and year, and monthly breakdowns can be found by using the \u2018+\u2019 and \u2018-\u2018 functions at the top of the table.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are taking steps to reduce self-harm and self-inflicted death levels by rolling out improved suicide and self-harm training for new and existing staff. Over 25,000 staff have received some training and over 14,000 have received training in all six modules.<\/p>

<\/p>

Violence in prisons remains unacceptably high but there are early signs that we are making progress. Eight of the jails involved in the \u201810 Prisons Project\u2019 saw falls in the final quarter of 2018 \u2013 four of them by more than 25% - while the number of assaults across the estate reduced by 11%.<\/p>

<\/p>

Across the prison estate we have invested an additional £70m in a raft of measures designed to improve safety, security and decency \u2013 including body-scanners, enhanced searches and new investigative teams \u2013 while the 4,700 additional staff we have recruited since October 2016 are making a real difference.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "257391"} , {"_value" : "257408"} , {"_value" : "257628"} , {"_value" : "258894"} , {"_value" : "258898"} , {"_value" : "258905"} , {"_value" : "258912"} , {"_value" : "258919"} , {"_value" : "258929"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128502/answer/previousversion/120843", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-17T16:42:51.233Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Humber Prison: Crimes of Violence"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many incidents of self-harm there were at HMP Humber in each of the last 12 months.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/152", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Iain Duncan Smith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chingford and Woodford Green"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Iain Duncan Smith"} ], "uin" : "257634"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Justice&_page=1&max-ddpModified.=2019-06-17T17%3A16%3A33.842Z&min-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-06-13T16%3A33%3A50.203Z&max-questionFirstAnswered.=2019-06-17T16%3A46%3A18.607Z&writtenParliamentaryQuestionType=NamedDay", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 15, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
