Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department's strategy entitled, Transforming Rehabilitation, what key success indicators his Department plans to include in its programmes to reduce reoffending.

Performance indicators will give providers the incentives to ensure quality delivery which secures rehabilitative outcomes whilst delivering the sentence of the court and protecting the public.

There will be performance indicators to assess whether accredited programmes and other interventions have been delivered to service users referred to them by offender managers. There will also be quality indicators on whether accredited programmes and other interventions are of sufficient quality to enable individuals to complete the intervention and address problems related to their offending.
