answer text <p>Police and Crime Plans are an important strategic planning tool for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and were introduced as a statutory requirement for commissioners as part of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. Section 5 of that Act stipulates that a PCC must issue a new Police and Crime plan as soon as practicable after taking office – a commissioner may also vary an existing plan or issue a new one at any time, the frequency with which this is done is determined on the basis of local need.</p><p>Alongside this, section 7 of that Act requires PCCs to set out the victims’ services that are planned for the rest of the period that the PCC will hold office in their police and crime plan. PCCs are also required to produce an annual report at the end of each financial year to provide the public with an update on the progress which has been made in meeting the police and crime objectives contained within the plan and the victims and witness services that have been commissioned and provided (section 12 of that Act).</p>

answer text <p>Training is a pivotal part of any emergency service role. In the case of fire, it is the responsibility of individual fire and rescue authorities to ensure that continuous training is in place to maintain professional competency and to meet operational requirements including responding to major events such as the Grenfell Tower fire.</p><p>The Government is funding the Joint Emergency Interoperability Service Programme (JESIP). Part of its work has included the largest and most successful joint training initiative across the emergency services. It has also introduced a new national system for joint organisational learning to assist in improving the way in which the emergency services identify learning from incidents and exercises, and implement positive change to front line services.</p><p>The College of Policing sets the standards of professional practice and training for policing and also run the Multi Agency Gold Incident Command course which is open to leaders from different sectors including fire and local authorities.</p>

answer text <p>The minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsoring a non-EEA national partner to come or remain here applies across the UK. The level of the income threshold, which aims to prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote integration, was set following advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee and reflects the income at which a family settled here generally cannot access income-related benefits. The Committee, in its November 2011 report, could see no clear case for differentiation of the income threshold between UK countries and regions and noted several arguments against such an approach. These included that a family living in a wealthy part of a relatively poor UK country or region could be subject to a lower income requirement than a family living in a deprived part of a relatively wealthy one. The Government agrees with that assessment and applying a single minimum income threshold across the UK has been found to be lawful by the courts.</p> more like this
