answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2021 answer text <p>The MoJ has a range of contractual levers that result in providers being paid less if performance is below the agreed levels. These levers were put in place at the point the contracts were let and pre-date the COVID pandemic, so are not specifically designed to relate to non-delivery of COVID safety measures.</p><p> </p><p>There are, however, a range of steps that the MoJ can take in all circumstances with providers who are failing to meet their core obligations to keep children in their care safe. Warning notices are issued should serious or persistent failings occur.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>The Spending Review will provide a total of £40m for victims and support services. We are continuing to provide £15 million this year to fulfil the manifesto commitment to increase support for victims of sexual violence and rape, including funding for new Independent Sexual Violence Advisors to support victims through the justice system. As well as this, we are providing an additional £25 million this year for victims and support services. This recognises the negative impact that Covid-19 has had on vulnerable victims of crime, including victims of domestic abuse and builds on the £20 million we provided last year to help domestic abuse and sexual violence community-based services meet Covid-driven demand. In due course, more detailed allocations will be announced.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 11/01/2021 16:20:05 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

uin	130786
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>Paragraph 35 in Schedule 1 to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 can now be found in section 194 of the Sentencing Act 2020. Section 194 gives the Secretary of State the power, by regulation, to make provision for the review of a Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO) and to make provision about the frequency and conduct of those reviews and the court’s powers on review. This has not changed with the commencement of the Sentencing Act 2020, no secondary legislation has been made under this power.</p><p>We are aware of innovative local approaches and informal arrangements between some magistrates and Youth Offending Teams to improve information sharing and involve magistrates in reviewing the ongoing progress of children in relation to their orders. We are actively considering how the Ministry of Justice can learn from and best support these approaches, while ensuring we maintain the impartial court process. We have no current plans to make an order under section 194 of the Sentencing Act 2020 but are considering this carefully.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/01/2021 16:57:17 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

uin	130790
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>We believe that setting the age of criminal responsibility at 10 provides flexibility in dealing with children, allowing early intervention with the aim of preventing subsequent offending. The Government does not have any current plans to either review or change the age of criminal responsibility.</p><p>The approach of the youth justice system is rightly distinct from that of adults, focusing on the statutory aim of preventing offending by children and the welfare of the child. When considering the most appropriate response to offending by a young person the age, maturity and needs of a child are always considered.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/01/2021 17:01:04 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
