Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Government has produced or is planning to produce a report on the effectiveness of the new Integrated Offender Management arrangements.

Integrated Offender Management is a local partnership arrangement that sees criminal justice agencies working together with other partners to tackle the offenders who cause most harm to their local communities.

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary have included a report on the police contribution to local IOM arrangements in their PEEL inspections of police forces’ effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy. For Community Rehabilitation Companies and the National Probation Service, Her Majesty’s Inspection of Probation report on IOM in Quality and Impact Inspections.

The Government currently has no plans to produce a report specifically on the effectiveness of Integrated Offender Management.
