answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2016 answer text <p>We assess the performance of the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) through a range of service levels and, for CRCs, through a robust contract management and assurance process. Performance information against these service levels is published quarterly but it does not include an assessment of performance in placing offenders into employment. We have, however, introduced enhanced measures of resettlement which include the recording of employment at the start and end of the sentence and at the end of the licence supervision period for any offender. We aim to include this in future publications, for both CRCs and the National Probation Service, once data collection has bedded in.</p><p> </p><p>We closely monitor and robustly manage providers to make sure they fulfil their commitments to maintain service delivery, reduce reoffending, protect the public and provide value for money to the taxpayer.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 27/07/2016 13:13:36 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
