	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of all businesses to ensure that they are aware of their obligations under the Equality Act 2010 (the Act) to their customers and employees. To help them in this, Government and relevant independent bodies offer a range of technical guidance and statutory codes of practice that clearly explain what businesses should and should not do to ensure that their conduct is lawful and not discriminatory.</p><p>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is the public body responsible for enforcing the Act. The EHRC provides guidance to assist businesses, including service providers, to help ensure compliance with all parts of the Act. The guides explain how businesses can avoid the different types of unlawful discrimination, against customers and employees, including those with disabilities.</p><p>Guidance for any organisation providing a service can be found here: <a href="https://equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/guidance-businesses" target="_blank">https://equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/guidance-businesses</a></p><p>Guidance for employers can be found here: <a href="https://equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/guidance-employers" target="_blank">https://equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/guidance-employers</a></p><p>Tailored advice is also available to both businesses, employees and service users through two helplines. The Equality and Advisory Support Service (EASS) is a Government-funded helpline and the initial point of contact for anyone with discrimination concerns. The EASS provides free bespoke advice and also supports businesses and their customers to resolve issues using alternative informal dispute resolution. The EASS can also advise people who wish to take their complaint further on their options.</p><p>Acas offers a similar service to employers and employees, both information and early conciliation, where it is hoped that disputes can be resolved before progression to tribunal. Like the EHRC, Acas has also published guidance for employers to help them to behave in accordance with Equality Act requirements, for example their “What discrimination is by law” pages, that can be viewed at: <a href="https://www.acas.org.uk/discrimination-and-the-law" target="_blank">https://www.acas.org.uk/discrimination-and-the-law</a></p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 23/11/2022 12:12:59 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has made a comparative assessment of the amount of funding awarded by the Arts Council to cities in the North of England compared to cities in other regions of England.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>Arts Council England, which distributes public funding at arm’s length from His Majesty’s Government, is committed to supporting arts and culture across the whole country. Over the next three years, Arts Council England will distribute over £380 million in funding to 282 organisations across the North of England. This follows the request by HM Government to ensure that funding is spread more equitably across England. As a result, 78 organisations based in the North of England are new to the portfolio, including the Liverpool Lighthouse, Bradford Museums and Galleries, Company of Others dance ensemble in Newcastle, and Utopia Theatre in Sheffield.</p><p>Cities across the North of England will therefore receive increased investment. For instance, 11 organisations in Sheffield will receive a share of £11 million over three years. This increase in funding is also reflected across South Yorkshire, which will receive an additional £1.8 million per year, totalling £21.2 million over the three years 2023–26.</p><p>This shift meets the ambitious targets more fairly to distribute funding for culture to support levelling up objectives by increasing funding to areas outside London, and increasing Arts Council England funding to 109 places identified by the Arts Council and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as Levelling Up for Culture places (LUCPs). These Levelling Up Culture Places – which include cities in the North of England like Doncaster, Preston and Sunderland – will see investment almost double (a 95% increase). I would also like to draw the Hon. Member to the <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2022-11-07/hcws357" target="_blank">Written Ministerial Statement</a> from the Secretary of State on 7 November 2023 which provides further information and which may be of interest.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 23/11/2022 17:30:56 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
