The Government recognises that having police officers with the right skills is critical in ensuring child abuse investigations are progressed and managed effectively. Given policing is operationally independent, it is the responsibility of Chief Constables to manage the allocation of officers to different crime types and to ensure they are appropriately trained and equipped to undertake investigations. The Home Office therefore does not hold the specific information requested.<\/p>
The Government continues to invest in a range of work to strengthen law enforcement capacity and capability to tackle child sexual abuse, including developing and delivering an effective and victim-focused response. This includes funding policing\u2019s Vulnerability, Knowledge and Practice Programme which aims to improve and coordinate police practice in protecting vulnerable people, including identifying and sharing best practice across police forces, as well as improving partnership responses.<\/p>
Additionally, the College of Policing has developed the Specialist Child Abuse Investigators: Development Programme (SCAIDIP) - a specialist course aimed at developing investigators working within the child abuse investigation arena.<\/p>
And in July 2023, the Government also announced that 2,000 officers will complete new specialist training on investigating rape and serious sexual offences by April this year. This will mean more officers building stronger cases and placing victims at the heart of their response. The College of Policing is confident that this commitment will be met.<\/p>"}

The department has recently made an assessment of the evidence behind the Turn on the Subtitles campaign and the current evidence is inconclusive as to whether turning on the subtitles improves children\u2019s reading. It is the choice of parents and carers whether their child watches television with the subtitles on.<\/p>
The government is committed to continuing to raise literacy standards, ensuring all children can read fluently. There is a supportive package of measures in place which aims to benefit the most disadvantaged pupils and is a key step in our mission to level up education standards in England. This includes the £67 million English Hubs programme which is now in its sixth year of delivery. It also incorporates the updated Reading Framework, an updated list of validated phonics programmes, funding for the purchase of phonics programmes and the National Professional Qualification in Leading Literacy.<\/p>

The Public Protection database is an existing case management system which supports the work of His Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), the Parole Board and the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman. As with many systems of this nature, it has developed and evolved over time to meet the changing needs of the respective business areas.<\/p>
HMPPS\u2019s original plan was to create a completely new replacement service as the system was operated and managed by a third party in outdated technical code. In May 2022, a decision was taken to cease the complete replacement and move to re-platforming and develop the existing service, within Ministry of Justice Digital. This allows the Ministry of Justice to have closer scrutiny of the requirements of the tool. Re-platforming has already been successfully completed and work is underway to deliver longer term enhancements to the system.<\/p>"}

The Ministry of Justice Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23 discloses two losses in CICA totalling £1 million. Both relate to the write-down of intangible assets under construction to nil, following a change of approach on the digital projects involved.<\/p>
The first, with a constructive loss of £640,000, related to a digital project looking at improving how applicants for compensation could submit documents to CICA. Following discovery and initial testing the service was found to be resource intensive and not sufficiently developed to support effective use at scale. The project was closed in favour of focusing on development of the GOV.UK application service (Apply).<\/p>
The second, with a constructive loss of £374,000, related to a project to enable improvements to customer and stakeholder experience in the application process. The discovery work undertaken for this project informed the design and fed into the development of the new Apply service.<\/p>
Apply is now in full operation, is hosted on GOV.UK and provides a more accessible, user-centred service through which victims can apply for compensation.<\/p>"}

The changes to the scope of reform of Adoption were made in March last year, as part of a wider adjustment to the court and tribunal Reform Programme. There was a need to reduce the scope of the programme, in part due to challenging operational conditions caused by the pandemic, in order to be able to ensure successful delivery.<\/p>
<\/p>
For Adoption, we reduced the scope to focus on the front-end digital application for cases where a child has been through care proceedings and placed for adoption. This is where the benefits for users - adoptive parents and local authorities \u2013 from having an accessible digital form were greatest. It will allow for a large percentage of adoption applications to be submitted digitally.<\/p>
<\/p>
The change of scope in the Adoption project meant that some of the development work on the asset was no longer required for use. The cost of this development work was £873,000, which was disclosed as a constructive loss in the Ministry of Justice\u2019s Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23.<\/p>"}
