answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>All hate crimes are completely unacceptable, and the UK has robust hate crime legislation. The Government is committed to tackling hate crime, through the Hate Crime Action Plan, including by asking the Law Commission to conduct a full review of the coverage and approach of current hate crime legislation.</p><p>We must ensure police officers have the full protection of the law when carrying out their duties. That is why we supported the Assaults on Emergency Workers Act which came into effect on 13 November 2018. The Act means that judges must consider tougher sentences for assaults on emergency workers, including police officers and staff. In September 2019, the Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for Justice also wrote to the Chair of the Sentencing Council, encouraging the Council to consider assaults against emergency workers at the forefront of their upcoming review of the sentencing guidelines for assaults.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 05/11/2019 16:55:25 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The Government takes police wellbeing and morale very seriously and is doing everything it can to support policing including investing in programmes which offer help directly to officers. That is why we have invested £7.5m in a new National Police Wellbeing Service (NPWS). The Government also welcomes the work being led by forces to promote officer health and wellbeing. Each Chief Constable has a duty to manage and support their workforce effectively, ensuring the welfare of all officers and staff.</p><p>The NPWS was launched in April 2019 and has developed evidence-based guidance, advice, tools and resources which can be accessed by forces, as well as individual officers and staff. These include resources to help forces better support officers and staff who are experiencing mental health problems.</p><p>This Government is committed to ensuring that the police have the support and protection they need to keep themselves and the public safe. That is why the Government has outlined its commitment to bring forward a Police Protection Bill that will strengthen the legal protection for pursuit drivers and establish a Police Covenant. The Covenant will focus on physical protection for officers, their health and wellbeing and support for their families.</p><p>This Government has also recently announced £10m in Taser funding, this could mean over 10,000 more police officers in England and Wales will be able to carry the devices to help protect themselves and the public.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 05/11/2019 16:56:47 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
