Home detention curfew (HDC) is a robust scheme which has been in operation since 1999. Offenders currently serving a sentence for a domestic abuse linked offence are extremely unlikely to be released on HDC. This government has taken steps to ensure that offenders serving sentences for offences linked to domestic abuse \u2013 including non-fatal strangulation and stalking \u2013 are presumed unsuitable for HDC, due to the seriousness of these offences and the government\u2019s firm stance on them. This means they will only be considered for release under the scheme where there are highly specific and exceptional circumstances.<\/p>
<\/p>
Offenders who are eligible and suitable for HDC are subject to a robust risk assessment to manage them safely in the community. This will include checks with partners from other agencies, such as the police, to ensure that the offender being released does not put anyone in the community at risk while on HDC. An offender who is a perpetrator of domestic abuse will not be released on HDC to an address where they pose a threat, or released on HDC at all if the risk is unmanageable.<\/p>
<\/p>
Data is not collated in a central manner and therefore could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost. However, specific offence codes for domestic violence related cases \u2013 such as controlling or coercive behaviour \u2013 can be identified on an individual basis.<\/p>

The government\u2019s vision for improving school attendance is for pupils, parents, schools, local authorities, and other partners to work together to prevent patterns of absence from developing. Where patterns of absence exist already, intervention should be early to understand the barriers to attendance so the right support can be provided to overcome them as quickly as possible.<\/p> The \u2019Working together to improve school attendance\u2019 guidance is becoming statutory in August 2024. This makes clear that schools are expected to take a \u2018support first\u2019 approach and work with pupils and their parents to understand and address the reasons for absence, including any in-school barriers to attendance. More information is available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1099677/Working_together_to_improve_school_attendance.pdf<\/a>.<\/p> There should only be limited circumstances where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able and well enough to continue their education remotely. Remote education should not be considered an equal alternative to school attendance, and providing remote education during a pupil's absence does not reduce the importance of bringing that absence to an end as soon as possible. The department has published non statutory guidance to schools on providing high quality remote education in cases where it is not possible, or contrary to government guidance, for some or all pupils to attend school, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-remote-education-guidance-for-schools<\/a>.<\/p>
