tabling member printed	Lord Trefgarne
uin	HL10523
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost as central records are not kept on the number of prisoners serving indeterminate sentences who maintain their innocence.</p><p> </p><p>HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) must operate on the basis that individuals have been lawfully convicted of crimes, no matter if they maintain their innocence. Whilst requirements differ by programme, an individual does not need to admit to the offence(s) for which they have been convicted, but must be willing to address and work on the issues and factors in their life that constitute risk factors for them.</p><p> </p><p>When considering whether to direct the release of IPP prisoners, the independent Parole Board considers evidence from a range of sources and not just completed programmes. Where the Parole Board does not direct the release of an IPP prisoner, it is concluding that the prisoner’s risk to the public is too great for him to be safely managed in the community.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 15/10/2018 15:58:30 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL10378
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government takes extremely seriously the findings of HM Inspectorate of Probation in relation to the work of Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) on domestic abuse. A detailed Action Plan to address the recommendations will be published in due course, in line with the normal process for responding to HMIP reports.</p><p>We have already been clear that CRCs must improve. This is why we are taking decisive action to end current contracts early, and put in place new arrangements from 2020 which will ensure probation plays its full part in tackling domestic abuse and protecting victims. The Government has also set out plans to better support victims of domestic abuse, bring more offenders to justice and ultimately keep the public safe through our proposed Domestic Abuse Bill. These include new Domestic Abuse Protection Orders to allow police and courts to act earlier and more effectively when abuse is suspected, and the creation of a Domestic Abuse Commissioner to stand up for victims, monitor the provision of domestic abuse services and hold the Government to account.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 15/10/2018 16:27:39 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL10150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2018 answer text <p>As part of the reforms to probation in 2015 all offenders, including those sentenced to less than 12 months, now get targeted support from probation providers when they leave prison to help them reintegrate into society. This includes working with local partners to help them find accommodation, which is provided by the local authority.</p><p>On 27 July, the MOJ announced our intention to end contracts with Community Rehabilitation Companies in 2020.We will be consulting on introducing changes so that probation services do more to help offenders find accommodation and employment on release from custody. We are investing an additional £22m per annum during the current contract period to ensure that CRCs deliver an enhanced ‘Through the Gate’ service to offenders leaving prison. This will also include sustained support to find accommodation and employment on discharge.</p><p>As part of the Government’s Rough Sleeping strategy, MoJ and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), will be investing approximately £6m over two years in a pilot scheme to help ex-offenders secure suitable accommodation upon release. The Cabinet Office has also introduced a new Reducing Reoffending Board that will work across government to tackle some of the main causes of reoffending, including the lack of suitable accommodation on release</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 20/09/2018 13:26:42 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
