In June, the Prime Minister outlined the Government’s commitment to review the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy (CONTEST), drawing on lessons learned from the recent attacks earlier this year.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>Through our Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy we have published a National Statement of Expectations (NSE) setting out a clear blueprint for local action. We consulted widely with commissioners, the voluntary and community sector and statutory stakeholders in the development of the NSE, which is based on existing best practice. The NSE will help promote better local collaboration and joint leadership, encourage new approaches incorporating early intervention, and establish and embed the best ways to help victims, survivors and their families.</p><p>To support local implementation we have published a Commissioning Toolkit, which provided practical advice and launched the £15 million VAWG Service Transformation fund, which will encourage better collaboration and new, joined-up approaches between local commissioners and specialist VAWG service providers. We are actively developing mechanisms for monitoring implementation of the NSE, working with commissioners and experts from the specialist VAWG sector, to ensure that local services across the country provide the best support for victims and survivors of VAWG.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 24/04/2017 13:59:45 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>Staff in the Department can utilise the Westminster Holiday Play Scheme. This is a childcare facility that takes place during school holidays, open to children from the age of 4 years and 9 months up to 15 years’ old. It is run by a private company on behalf of a consortium of departments, through a contract led and administered by BEIS. It currently operates at 4 London locations. Parents/guardians meet more than half of the costs for children attending this scheme, but the Department pays either £14.78 or £15.68 (dependent on the age of the child) towards each day’s use of the scheme.</p><p>During FY 2016/17, Home Office has recorded spend of £4045.84 on this play scheme. The Department does not collate details on the number of individual staff members who made use of the scheme or on the amounts spent per child.</p><p>More widely, the Home Office operates a Childcare Voucher Salary Sacrifice Scheme for staff. Staff can choose to take part of their salary (up to £243 per month) in the form of childcare vouchers. As the vouchers are exempt from Tax and NI, a saving is made. The vouchers can be used to help meet the costs of a range of registered childcare.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 07/11/2017 14:59:42 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
