	answer	answer answer text <p>In 2008 the Competent Authority (CA) published the containment policy, a framework for upgrading existing fuel sites so far as is reasonably practicable. Upgrades are being prioritised at higher risk sites and where measures are aimed at preventing release of fuel from tanks. In order to avoid disrupting operations and supplies, the upgrading work is being phased. All necessary upgrades are expected to be complete by 2028.</p><p>The 87 fuel terminals and 7 refineries have already completed many of the high risk and low cost improvements required. Improvement plans for upgrading storage tanks at the fuel terminals have also been agreed with the CA and progress against plans is monitored on an annual basis. A new risk assessment method for the very large tanks at the oil refineries was agreed with the CA in October this year and the refineries will submit their upgrading plans for approval by March 2015.</p><p> </p>

This includes: 30 child friendly spaces to support children with protective services and psychosocial and psychological support; child protection monitoring systems in camps; and support to survivors of violence and trafficking. We have funded improved camp lighting to help keep the most vulnerable Rohingya safer. DFID conducts thorough due diligence processes with all funding and will only work with partners with strong safeguards in place.</p><p> </p><p>Approximately 600,000 Rohingya, including children, are still in Rakhine State and are vulnerable.
