Autumn Statement 2023

The Autumn Statement from the Chancellor last week raised significant concerns among VCSE organisations as inequality, poverty, and austerity remain unaddressed. Citizen's Advice (CA) has noted its highest demand for debt and finance support in October 2023 since before 2020, with a pressing need for assistance across households dealing with rent, council tax, water, and energy bills. Morgan Wild, Head of Policy at CA, anticipates a record-breaking month of demand in December and urges the Government to address the cost-of-living crisis in response to their latest data brief.

The new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act - will this lead to less women going to prison?

The Government is currently planning to implement changes to sentencing guidelines for people who are convicted of offences and given custodial sentences of 12 months or less. The new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill was introduced to Parliament earlier this month and makes a presumption that sentences of less than 12 months, received for low level offences, would be suspended for some female offenders. This suggests that those convicted would serve their sentences in the community. When women with children are sent to prison, this can have a devastating impact on the family.
