answer text <p> </p><p>Any failure against the contractual critical service levels may result in <br>deductions against their submitted invoices. In the event of continuous and <br>unacceptable failures the Department has the ability to terminate the contract.<br><br>The performance of Teleperformance as with all of our contracts is subject to <br>close Home Office scrutiny. The governance processes include regular meetings <br>at all levels, from local operational teams up to senior official levels, to <br>allow in-depth reviews of performance against the service standards set out in <br>the contract, and to provide an escalation route to resolve any issues that may <br>arise. We also expect suppliers to provide continuous improvement in delivery <br>of customer services over the course of the contract, which is also monitored <br>through these processes.<br><br>The Department withheld payment of the contractual transitional payment until <br>transition was complete in each country where Teleperformance operates. This <br>has now been has now been approved for payment in countries where visa<br>application centres (VACs) are operational but withheld in locations still to <br>be transitioned. Ongoing contractual payments will be subject to the service <br>credit process outlined above.<br><br>The data required to judge performance against contractual service standards is <br>not yet available. We are not aware of any withdrawn applications linked to <br>delays in processing at the identified visa application centres since they took <br>over this service. The Home Office is currently collating data on complaints <br>for the period since Teleperformance commenced operations and it is not <br>available for publication. <br><br>UK Visas &amp; Immigration has worked closely with Teleperformance from the point <br>at which contracts were awarded to prepare for live operations, including the <br>summer peak. Annual and monthly application volumes and forecast figures for <br>2014 were provided to Teleperformance as part of the tender process and local <br>discussions have taken place to determine the number of appointment slots <br>available. Opening hours have been extended and appointment availability has <br>been increased in a number of locations to prepare for the summer period. Where <br>VACs are open every day, the availability of appointment slots is continually <br>monitored, with further measures being taken if appointments are consistently <br>fully booked.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p> </p><p>The requested information is not available centrally.<br><br>Home Office police recorded crime only covers offences recorded by the police <br>and not allegations. Furthermore, it is not possible to identify domestic <br>violence cases from the recorded crime figures returned to the Home Office by <br>police forces as these figures are based on counts of crime under the <br>appropriate offence classification (e.g. GBH, ABH). <br><br>With regard to stalking, the police started recording offences on April 1st <br>2014. Stalking offences recorded by the police will be included as part of the <br>regular crime statistics publications in due course.<br><br>The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database holds information on <br>defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal offences <br>in England and Wales. This database holds information on offences provided by <br>the statutes under which proceedings are brought but not all the specific <br>circumstances of each case. This centrally held information does not <br>specifically identify whether the crime was committed against males or females <br>for the offences of stalking and domestic violence. This detailed information <br>may be held on individual court files but is not reported to Justice Statistics <br>Analytical Services due to its size and complexity. As such this information <br>can only be obtained by the Ministry of Justice at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
