National Service Framework for Women Offenders
The National Service Framework aims to improve the services we deliver to women offenders in line with the commitments made in the Government’s Response to the Corston Report. It does so by setting out the Government’s strategic aims and objectives for how we propose to meet the needs of women offenders. It goes on to set out high-level service expectations, both through the reducing re-offending pathways, and for the delivery of statutory services.
The National Service Framework is supported by the recently published Prison Service Gender Specific Standards (new window), and the Offender Management Guide to Working with Women (new window), which is also published today. These provide the more detailed operational guidance for prison and probation staff delivering services on the ground.
Together, these documents will form the basis upon which NOMS will develop a series of costed service specifications for women in custody and in the community.
