These figures have been drawn from the Public Protection Unit Database and OASys National Reporting System held by Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service. This data was matched on PNC and Prison NOMIS ID. As with any large scale recording systems, the figures are subject to possible errors with data migration and processing.<\/li><\/ol> <\/p>
<\/p>
In order to determine whether an assessment was \u2018up to date\u2019, the policy and guidance under the HM Prison and Probation Service\u2019s Offender Management in Custody Model has been applied.<\/p>
<\/p>
1) An initial OASys assessment must be completed within 16 weeks of a new life sentenced prisoner being received into custody. In the interim, where there is a Court OASys risk assessment prepared for sentencing purposes, that is deemed to be an up to date assessment.<\/p>
<\/p>
2) Following completion of an initial assessment, a review is required as a minimum every 3 years.<\/p>
<\/p>
Life sentence prisoners will often have reviews of their OASys assessment undertaken more frequently than once every three years due to parole hearings or other significant events.<\/p>
<\/p>
There are significant vacancies across the Prison Estate, which has an impact on the number of completed assessments. In order to address this, there are ongoing recruitment campaigns for prisons to employ additional probation officers and qualified probation officers and prison officers.<\/p>"}

BEIS is currently assessing the responses from the consultation on high-level options for reforming parental leave and pay. We are also conducting a formal evaluation of the Shared Parental Leave and Pay scheme, including large-scale, representative surveys of employers and parents. Together, these will give us a fuller picture of how well the current system of parental leave and pay is working for parents and employers, and inform how we might make it easier for fathers and partners to take Paternity Leave.<\/p>
The evaluation is ongoing, and we will report on this and publish the Government Response to the consultation in due course.<\/p>
More generally, Government is committed to making the UK the best place to work and grow a business. In the recent Queen\u2019s Speech, we announced that we will bring forward an Employment Rights Bill to deliver the greatest workers rights reform in over 20 years.<\/p>"}

The Government expects Network Rail to achieve no net loss in biodiversity by 2024, and net gain by 2040 as the primary environmental objective of its lineside vegetation management. Network Rail does not currently calculate the carbon impact of vegetation clearance.
