Information on a prisoner’s caring responsibilities and their children living in the community is currently monitored locally by prison Governors/Directors to ensure appropriate support can be provided to offenders and their families. We are making changes to the questions within the Basic Custody Screening Tool (BCST) in the first quarter of 2022 and, once this has been done, we will be able to collect primary carer data via the BCST and access this information centrally. Consideration will then be given to how and what we can publish.</p> answering member printed Lord Wolfson of Tredegar question first answered 06/12/2021 17:13:38 answering member 4901 label Biography information for Lord Wolfson of Tredegar
