Original	Corrected
The National Offender Management Service records only those breaches of curfew restrictions from Probation Approved Premises where offenders are recalled to custody as a result. Curfew breaches, while important, do not necessarily lead to recall. For example, an offender may be only a few minutes late, or may have been unable to return for reasons outside his or her control. In such cases other action may be appropriate instead. 97% of Approved Premises residents complete their time at the Approved Premises without breaching their curfew. The numbers of recalls for breach of curfew between 2011/12 and 2015/16, in England and in Wales, are set out below. Curfew was not recorded separately from other recall reasons in 2010/11. \| England \| Wales 2011/12 \| 205 \| 2 2012/13 \| 211 \| 1 2013/14 \| 230 \| 0 2014/15 \| 240 \| 2 2015/16 \| ~~234~~ \| 11 Public protection is our top priority. When an abscond takes place, police are immediately notified and are responsible for locating the offender. We take any breach of licence conditions extremely seriously and offenders who abscond can be sent back to prison.
