Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howarth of Breckland (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

I do not think that the noble Lord is saying anything different from what I have just said. High-level professional qualification is essential, but not on its own. I know professionals who really do not know how to carry out a clear assessment and an implementation plan in order to change behaviour. There are real issues about how we develop our skills. I know auxiliaries who have absolutely those skills. It is clearly a question of management as well as the training that is crucial to develop it, but I do not think that the noble Lord and I are in any different position.
