The Department recognises that the expertise and commitment of voluntary sector organisations is vital in helping offenders turn their lives around. The Department aims to encourage greater involvement of the voluntary sector in the provision of probation services through the next generation of probation contracts.<\/p>
<\/p>
We undertook a public consultation on this and other proposals to improve probation in summer 2018, and we are currently reflecting on the feedback received as we refine and test our plans. In particular, the Department is exploring which commercial and commissioning arrangements will best promote the involvement of the voluntary sector and how to encourage providers to develop their supply chains. Additionally, we are considering the ways in which a strengthened regional role for the HMPPS can foster closer links between providers and voluntary sector organisations.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4517", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lucy Frazer"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South East Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lucy Frazer"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-08T14:57:57.197Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Community Rehabilitation Companies"} , "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 steps he is taking to ensure that not-for-profit community rehabilitation companies are not disadvantaged by any restructuring of probation services; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4122", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alex Cunningham"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stockton North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Alex Cunningham"} ], "uin" : "215182"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1052205", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1052205/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

No comparative assessment of \u201cfor-profit\u201d and \u201cnot-for-profit\u201d CRCs has been undertaken by the Ministry of Justice.<\/p>

Robust assurance of Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) performance is provided through operational contract management backed up by regular Operational Assurance audits, and Internal Audit activity as required. There is regular monitoring of service delivery, including a focus on validating published performance management information. CRC performance information showing services levels against a range of measures is released quarterly as part of the Community Performance Quarterly Management Information.<\/p>
