answer text <p /> <p /> <p>HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS) provides administrative support for a large number of courts in England and Wales. HMCTS sends information by post to the addresses given by the parties to court proceedings. If a party changes their address or commences a custodial sentence part way through court proceedings then they should notify the relevant court of this change and can request that information is sent to a relative or a legal representative. All courts have administrative procedures in place to process changes of address and will update their records accordingly.</p><p> </p><p>HMCTS is reliant on the parties to proceedings providing valid and up to date addresses. It is not possible for HMCTS to check if an address given is correct or if any defendants in criminal proceedings have commenced a custodial sentence, due to the volume of cases handled by the criminal, civil and family courts.</p> more like this

answer text <p>It is difficult to compare the efficacy of programmes delivered in prison and in the community, as at the moment they are different programmes and the sexual offender populations accessing treatment in the two settings may also differ in a way that could affect comparison.</p><p> </p><p>The National Offender Management Service’s (NOMS) programmes delivered to sexual offenders across prison and probation have been developed in line with the available evidence to address the needs of this group. They have been designed in accordance with the principles of effective intervention, and have all been accredited by an independent body of experts, the Correctional Services Accreditation and Advisory Panel. The latest published reconviction outcome study for the NOMS Core Sex Offender Treatment Programme (SOTP) delivered in prison was conducted in 2003 (Friendship, Mann &amp; Beech, 2003.</p><p> </p><p>NOMS are working towards the development of a new programme for sexual offenders which will be delivered across prison and in the community. As part of this development, NOMS will be commissioning research into the best methodology to evaluate this programme as it is rolled out across both settings.</p>
