Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Written Statement of 27 June 2019, Female Offender Strategy - First Anniversary, HCWS1662, whether the new checklist for Pre-Sentence Reports on women referred to in that statement has been rolled out nationally.

HM Prison and Probation Service has developed a Pre-Sentence Report interview checklist which focuses on the specific needs of female offenders. Following a series of briefing events, this was rolled out nationally in August 2019 and is available to all practitioners.
