question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the positive impact of face-to-face meetings between ex-offenders and National Probation Service officials; how many such meetings there have been, in England and Wales, in each of the last 12 months; and what steps they intend to take to (1) reduce supervision by telephone, and (2) increase face-to-face meetings, for ex-offenders.

uin	HL15256
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The impact of face-to-face meetings between ex-offenders and National Probation Service (NPS) officials is not formally assessed. Both NPS and Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) staff use their professional judgement to determine the required frequency and most appropriate form of supervision.</p><p>Remote supervision should not be used as the only means by which an offender is supervised, which is why we have recently amended CRC contracts to ensure all offenders under supervision in the community are offered face-to-face contact with their Responsible Officer at least once a month. Data on this measure will be published on 24 April 2019.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 29/04/2019 16:28:25 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to urgently review the detention of prisoners subject to imprisonment for public protection sentences who have served their minimum tariff following reports of the numbers of those who await a decision from the Parole Board.
tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
uin	HL15259
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>By law, it is for the independent Parole Board to review the detention of those prisoners serving an IPP sentence who have completed their tariff period. The Parole Board no longer has a backlog when it comes to listing cases for an oral hearing. The Board will direct the release of these prisoners only if it is satisfied that the levels of risk posed to the general public are reduced enough that the National Probation Service and its partner agencies can safely manage them in the community under supervision.</p><p> </p><p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) have been working to improve the management and progression of prisoners serving these sentences for some time, which is evident in the increasing number of overall releases we have seen in recent years: 576 in 2016 and 616 in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>A joint action plan is in place, co-owned by HMPPS and the Parole Board, with the specific aim of providing opportunities for prisoners serving IPP sentences to progress to safe release. Through continuing the joint Action Plan, we are prioritising post-tariff prisoners in accessing rehabilitative interventions, including Psychology Services-led reviews in cases where there has not been satisfactory progression, and enhanced case management, for those prisoners sentenced with a complex set of risks and needs. We have also developed Progression Regimes at four prisons across the country, which are dedicated to progressing indeterminate prisoners struggling to achieve release via the usual routes.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst HMPPS is focused on giving all prisoners serving IPP sentences opportunities to progress towards release, public protection must remain our priority.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 24/04/2019 16:33:25 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
