answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government signed the Istanbul Convention to signal the UK’s strong commitment to tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG). This Government remains fully committed to ratifying, once the UK is fully compliant with the Convention.</p><p> </p><p>Since signing the Convention in 2012, we have continued to step up our efforts to combat VAWG; we have strengthened the law; introduced new protective tools; and issued a range of guidance and support for frontline professionals.</p><p> </p><p>In most respects the UK already complies with, or goes further than the Convention requires. However there remains one outstanding issue in relation to extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) which needs to be addressed and this requires primary legislation. We will introduce the ETJ measures necessary for compliance in England and Wales as part of the Domestic Abuse Bill and we are engaging with the Devolved Administrations on the measures necessary to ensure compliance in Scotland and Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>This Government supported <em>The Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Act 2017, which </em>requires the Secretary of State to lay a report before Parliament on the measures being taken to enable the UK to ratify the Istanbul Convention.</p><p>The Government will be publishing this report by 1 November 2017, as required by the Act.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 16/10/2017 15:24:03 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>It is essential that all victims of rape and sexual violence are treated with dignity, and all investigations are conducted thoroughly and professionally.</p><p> </p><p>We have supported HMIC’s publication of data on rape for every police force in the country as a basis for Chief Constables and PCCs to scrutinise how rape is dealt with in their local area, so that further improvements to the service provided to victims can be made.</p><p> </p><p>We are strengthening law enforcement capacity and capability and have provided around £8m extra investment through the Police Transformation Fund to transform policing to respond to changing crimes and threats, including crimes against vulnerable people. This includes £1.9m awarded to the College of Policing to transform policing’s approach to vulnerability. This will allow the college to develop a more comprehensive package of training for new leaders, who will coach, brief and debrief front line officers so they are better able to identify signs of vulnerability and provide support to victims.</p><p> </p><p>Training on domestic abuse, rape and sexual offences is contained within the Public Protection Learning Programme developed by the College of Policing. Initial response training for sexual offences is included in new recruit training. The College also provides guidance on investigating and prosecuting rape, and a toolkit providing rape investigating officers with in-depth guidance on challenging myths and stereotypes as well as evidential requirements on matters of consent. It is also developing clear standards to guide response at each level of investigation.</p><p> </p><p>More crimes are being reported to the police and sentence lengths for rapists have increased. Police recorded crime figures show more victims are having the confidence to come forward and the volume of prosecutions for rape in 2015-16 rose to 4,643, the highest volume ever recorded.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 12/09/2017 14:05:59 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
