Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips told LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast that Serco may face penalties after it emerged that some offenders, including convicted domestic abusers, had not been fitted with tags.The tags allow officials to track the locations of offenders, potentially protecting their former victims in some cases.
“I’m almost certain that in this case, that unless something massively improves very, very quickly, that all of those things will be considered.”Ms Phillips also labelled the early release of domestic abusers "very worrying". She added: "In the face of this terrible decision that has had to be made, we have tried to, where best, put in place all the safeguards and I have worked on it night and day really since I’ve been in office.
