That the Parliament applauds the recent successful inspection of the Dick Stewart Service, in which the service was awarded top grades by the Care Inspectorate; commends the service for its demonstration to the Care Inspectorate through this inspection, which was unannounced, of the high-quality support that it provides, shown by the award of two grade 5 and two grade 6 awards in the categories of Care and Support; understands that the service, which is based in Glasgow, but can be used to support male offenders from across the country, provides supported accommodation for men who have recently left prison; considers that this support includes, but is not restricted to, the development of independent life skills such as housekeeping, budgeting, cooking, developing routines, paying bills and self-care, as well as providing programmes that allow male offenders to look at ways of breaking their offending behaviour; believes that without this service many offenders could not be prepared for living in the community, that the risk of reoffending would be higher and that this also leaves prison services with no outward service with which to move those eligible for parole; considers that, despite the success rate of the service, the service is threatened with closure due to funding constraints, that the impact of this on the wider criminal justice system is very significant, and that the long-term costs involved in the prison population will be considerably higher, and wishes the Dick Stewart Service well in its objectives and in securing alternative funding.
