answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>We have provided forces with the funding they need to tackle the changing demands they face, including those from child sexual exploitation. In 2018/19 we increased funding in the policing system by £460 million, which includes £280 million going to forces through increased council tax precept flexibility. We have prioritised child sexual abuse as a national threat, one of only six such threats that require prioritisation by forces. This will facilitate prioritisation and planning of capabilities to tackle this terrible crime.</p><p>We have begun a step change in our approach to dealing with crimes against vulnerable children and people across the country and have invested significantly in a programme of reform to help the police to respond to changing crimes. This includes significant extra investment through the Police Transformation Fund (PTF) to transform policing in response to crimes against vulnerable individuals such as child sexual abuse.</p><p>In addition, we are investing an extra £21 million over the next 18 months to improve how our law enforcement agencies reduce the volume of offending and pursue the most dangerous and prolific offenders. This includes further funding of the Regional Organised Crime Units to target online grooming of children.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 29/11/2018 16:24:33 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>Asylum Seekers whose claims and, if appropriate, appeals have been refused are no longer eligible for asylum support and are expected to return home. We offer assistance to those who choose to do so by actively promoting the Home Office Voluntary Return Service. The Home Office continues to provide accommodation and support to those who are temporarily unable to leave the UK because of a practical or legal obstacle through the Section 4 provisions, and to families with children under the age of 18.</p><p>Information about asylum decisions, broken down by Country of Origin, is available in the published statistics here:<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2018/how-many-people-do-we-grant-asylum-or-protection-to#asylum-applications-and-initial-decisions" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2018/how-many-people-do-we-grant-asylum-or-protection-to#asylum-applications-and-initial-decisions</a></p><p>No Recourse to Public Funds is the default condition for grants of leave to remain in most categories, and is a separate issue to that of asylum seekers who are no longer eligible for support. Leave to remain in the UK is normally granted with a condition that prevents the person and their dependants from receiving welfare assistance from public funds. However, where the person qualifies for leave to remain on grounds related to their family or private life the condition is lifted if they or they or their dependent children would otherwise be destitute.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 29/11/2018 16:41:52 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
