Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of the HMPPS proposal for the model of the Next Generation of Accredited Programmes.

HMPPS is working to improve quality of delivery, align programmes with the latest international evidence about what works to reduce reoffending, better invest in Continuous Professional Development for delivery staff, and increase evaluation of programme impact and outcomes. These serve as the core foundation around which the ongoing design and development of future Accredited Programmes is centred.
