Offences against Children: Compensation
Monday 10th June 2019

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 18 February 2019 to Question 220844 on Offences Against Children: Compensation, (a) what the conviction was for and (b) how much was awarded in compensation in each of the 26 cases where a criminal compensation order was issued.

Answered by Robert Buckland

The amount of compensation awarded for child sexual abuse offences where a criminal compensation order was issued in 2017 can be viewed in the table attached.

Compensation rarely appears as a primary disposal, it is almost exclusively a secondary disposal and will usually be accompanied by another sentencing outcome such as immediate custody. Data presented in this PQ response is from administrative court records and needs to be considered in the context it is collected. In some court cases especially for the most serious offences, courts may prioritise recording of the primary disposals (such as custody, community sentences etc.).

Written Question
Higher Education: Registration
Thursday 23rd May 2019

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the (a) average length of time and (b) longest time was for a higher education establishment to receive their registration from the Office for Students.

Answered by Chris Skidmore

There is no meaningful average time for higher education establishments receiving an outcome on their Office for Students (OfS) registration application. This is because the time taken from initial receipt of the application to a final registration decision is dependent on a number of factors. These factors include the completeness of the application initially submitted, the scale of the clarificatory information requested by the assessor during the assessment process and the length of time taken by the provider to respond to such information requests. In addition, other factors include the time taken for the provider’s access and participation plan to be negotiated and approved, the likelihood of the provider to breach its ongoing conditions of registration, including the ways in which that would impact its students. Furthermore, consideration is also given to the overall readiness of the provider to be regulated.

In cases where decisions that have been reached more quickly often relate to circumstances where the provider has submitted a near-complete application or where queries during the assessment have been minimal. In addition, more timely decisions can be made where the risk assessment suggests that the provider is unlikely to breach any of its ongoing conditions of registration. Cases that have taken longer to assess have typically involved several attempts to obtain relevant information from the provider. The risk assessment also suggests either that the provider does not satisfy one or more initial conditions of registration (in which case the provider may make representations against the proposed decision to refuse registration), or that the provider may be at increased risk of breaching one or more of its ongoing conditions of registration once registered. In these cases, the OfS is likely to conclude that the interests of students are best protected by taking regulatory action with which the provider must comply, such as applying specific conditions of registration or enhanced monitoring arrangements. Such occurrences would lengthen the timeframe for a decision on an application.

Higher Education: Registration
Tuesday 21st May 2019

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the expected timeframe is for the Office for Students to complete the registration of a higher education establishment.

Answered by Chris Skidmore

There is no set timeframe for how long it takes the Office for Students (OfS) to process an application. This is because a final registration decision is dependent on a number of factors. These include the completeness of the application, the scale of the information requested by the assessor during the assessment process and the length of time taken by the provider to respond to such information requests. The time taken for the provider’s bespoke access and participation plan to be negotiated and approved also has an impact on the length of the process.

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many higher education establishments (a) received and (b) did not receive their registration within the timeframe expected of the Office for Students.

Answered by Chris Skidmore

As higher education establishments may choose to apply for registration onto the Office for Students’ (OfS) register at any time, there is no set deadline or timeframe for when they should receive a decision on their applications. To date, 356 higher education establishments have successfully registered with the OfS since the OfS started accepting applications.
