probation trusts. These output indicators compliment a
range of measures in the Probation Trust Rating System
(PTRS), including the key outcome Reducing Reoffending,
quality measures from HMI Probation and engagement
indicators such as Offender Feedback and Victim Feedback.
In addition to the measures in the formal performance
assessment, the probation contracts contain a number
of targeted output measures including Sustained
Employment, Education Awards, Sex Offender Treatment
Programmes Completions, Domestic Violence Completions,
Offending Behaviour Programme Completions, Drug
Rehabilitation Requirement Completions, Alcohol
Treatment Requirement Completions and Community
Payback Completions among other measures used for
assurance purposes.
There is an annual cycle of review on measures,
targets and the contents of the PTRS model. In line
with this Government’s policy direction the review is
focused to be less prescriptive with the aim of reducing
the burden of data collection on the front line. The
introduction of Payment By Results (PBR) will be
reflected in the future performance framework.
Rehabilitation and Treatment of Offenders
Sadiq Khan: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice
how much funding for the rehabilitation and treatment
of offenders was contributed to his Department’s
programme by the (a) Department for Education and
its predecessors, (b) Department of Health, (c)
Department for Work and Pensions and its predecessors
and (d) Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
and its predecessors in each year since 1995. [59892]
Mr Blunt: The Ministry of Justice does not hold
information on the contribution by other Government
Departments for the treatment and rehabilitation of
offenders. It does hold information on income received
from the Departments specified, but this may not be for
rehabilitation or treatment and would only be part of
the funding by those Departments. Most of the funding
by those Departments will be made to service providers
outside of the National Offender Management Service
(NOMS) who provide services to offenders on behalf of
their respective Departments.
