Offenders: Employment
(asked on 28th March 2019) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he plans to publish updated statistics on employment outcomes for women and men previously published in the Ministry of Justice (2013) National Offender Management Service Offender Equalities Annual Report 2012-13.
Employment outcomes were published until 2014-15 in the NOMS Management Information Addendum to the Annual Report. Users can get a broad male / female split based on the prison type. They are available via the link below:
Later this year, subject to data quality, we are intending to publish employment outcomes for 2018-19 as an Annex to the HMPPS Community Performance publication.
In addition, in line with the commitments in the Prison Safety and Reform White Paper, we are developing employment measures to assess the performance of prison and probation in supporting prison leavers into employment.
From April 2019-20, one such measure will hold governors to account, through the HMPPS Prison Performance Framework, on securing employment for offenders after release.
