Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Antisocial Behaviour.


Antisocial Behaviour

Are there not three other reasons for the low take-up? One is the that the length of ISOs is capped at six months, and some aspects of diversionary training and support need longer. Secondly, local authority social services departments do not always provide sufficient resources to contribute towards the funding. Thirdly, there is the attitude of the middle-market tabloids towards anger management or communication skills courses, which are dismissed as soft options and as the creation of social workers, without any understanding of their potential. Does my hon. Friend agree with those points?
