Recommendation 11

Deferred
Paragraph: 77
Publish evaluation of pre-sentence report pilot, detailing success measures, targets and ethnic minority outcomes.
Recommendation
Regarding the pre-sentence report pilot, the Ministry of Justice should set out how it will measure the success of this pilot, and the criteria it will use to determine whether to expand the initiative. The MoJ should also set out what its targets are for the number of women who will receive a fuller pre-sentence report under the pilot, and at the end of the pilot period, it should publish an evaluation of the pilot. The MoJ should include in its evaluation the outcomes for ethnic minorities, as well as the steps required to ensure that the specific needs of BAME women are met through pre-sentence reports.
Government Response Summary
The government did not address the specific pre-sentence report pilot, its evaluation, or targets, instead stating that Community Sentence Treatment Requirements (CSTRs) for substance misuse and secondary mental health are available in all court areas, with primary care coverage aimed for 100% by 2023/2024.
