As per the answer to PQ 184996, please note that offenders may appear both within the caseload figures of court orders (including community orders and suspended sentence orders), and post-release supervision.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies work closely with other agencies to support offenders in the community. When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders. We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members of the public.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 17:01:11 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 11:59:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 188194 - table.xlsx title PQ188194 - Table previous answer version 84891 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

This is why we have established a prison safety programme through which we are taking forward a comprehensive set of actions to improve safety in custody. We have invested in over 3,000 additional staff in order to deliver consistent, purposeful regimes. We have also introduced the new key worker role, under which staff can give prisoners more effective challenge and support.</p><p> </p><p>Our prison staff work incredibly hard and we are under no illusions about the challenges they face. We are taking urgent action to make prisons safer, and assaults on our staff will never be tolerated. That is why we are working with the Police and Crown Prosecution Service to ensure successful prosecutions of those who assault them. It is also why the Government supported the recently passed Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act, which increases sentences for those who attack emergency workers, including prison officers.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 09/11/2018 14:48:47 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 15:58:04 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 186964 - Tables.xlsx title PQ 186964 - Tables previous answer version 84165 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
