	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2015 answer text <p>During the financial years 2010/11 to 2012/13, no prosecutions by the Gangmasters' Licensing Authority resulted in compensation orders for victims. In August 2013, a compensation order was made requiring the offender to pay the victim £57,801 within three years. Victims identified by the GLA can also seek compensation through other channels, including the Criminal Injury Compensation Scheme and civil remedies.</p><p>Victims can also seek compensation through Reparation Orders but it is not yet possible to establish what fur-ther compensation can be accessed as they were only recently introduced by the Modern Slavery Act.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 17/09/2015 11:29:49 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a crime. We will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls. On 22 July, the Government marked the first anniversary of the Girl Summit – the first global summit to mobilise domestic and international efforts to end FGM and child and forced marriage within a generation. All of the commitments made at the Summit have now been delivered, with Home Office commitments including:</p><p>• a new mandatory reporting duty, provided for in the Serious Crime Act 2015 and due to commence in October this year, which will require specified professionals to report ‘known’ cases of FGM to the police;</p><p>• the launch of the Home Office’s FGM Unit, which provides outreach support to local areas and works with the police, voluntary and community sector, survivors and professionals to develop policies and practices to end FGM;</p><p>• providing resources for frontline professionals, including: a resource pack, e-learning, and distributing over 440,000 communication materials; and</p><p>• the launch of a force level inspection by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary on the police response to ‘honour’ based violence, including FGM, to help ensure the enforcement is as good as it can be. Ministers signed a cross-Government declaration outlining this progress and reaffirming this Government’s commitment to tackling this appalling crime.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 14/09/2015 15:22:37 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

	uin	9340
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>The Government takes all forms of hate crime very seriously. Crime that is motivated by hostility or hatred towards the victim is particularly corrosive and can have devastating consequences for victims and their families. In 2012, the previous Government published a hate crime action plan and a total of 13 actions were dedicated to the prevention of disability hate crime, including the creation of a new cross government Disability Strategy, the publication of the Crown Prosecution Service Action Plan on disability hate crime and publishing examples of good practice by disabled persons’ user-led organisations. The progress report on the action plan, published in 2014, showed that we had either completed or made good progress on all actions.</p><p>The number of police-recorded hate crimes against disabled people has increased each year since records began in 2011. There were 1,753 reports in 2011/2012, 1,843 in 2012/2013 and 1,985 in 2013/2014. This could indicate that there is an increased understanding of disability hate crime by police and victims.</p><p>The Government is currently speaking to a number of organisations and individuals to inform the next steps in our strategy to tackle disability hate crime. This includes work with the Fulfilling Potential Forum, which is led by the Office for Disability Issues within DWP and is made up of around 40 disability charities, including disabled people’s user led organisations.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 14/09/2015 15:23:14 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
