Lord Ramsbotham – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Ramsbotham on 2016-05-18.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what estimate they have made of the percentage of short-term prisoners in receipt of satisfactory probation supervision; and how that is being assessed.

Lord Faulks

We assess the standard of supervision for all offenders, including those sentenced to under 12 months, through a range of service levels and, for Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs), through a robust contract management process. Performance information for the National Probation Service and CRCs against these service levels is published quarterly. The most recent statistics were published on 28 April.
