Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking to ensure support is provided to prison leavers between the end of the HM Prison and Probation Services' Creating Future Opportunities CFO3 project and CFO Activity Hubs and delivery of the CFO Evolution programme; and how information will be disseminated to prison leavers.

We will deliver continuous support for prison leavers during the transition from the CFO3 and CFO Activity Hubs programmes to the CFO Evolution programme by allowing adequate implementation and migration time as appropriate between the existing and new programmes. Information about the CFO programmes will be disseminated to prison leavers by the current and new providers and the HMPPS CFO team. Comprehensive mobilisation and transition plans are in place to ensure participants on the programme will notice little difference during this period.
