star this property answer text <p>For the first time, all employers with 250 or more employees are required to publish their gender pay gap before 4 April 2018. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has powers to enforce compliance with this requirement. The EHRC has published a policy paper on its intended approach to enforcement here https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/publication-download/closing-gap-enforcing-gender-pay-gap-regulations.</p><p>More generally, the EHRC's 2017-18 Business Plan commits it to working with employers to demonstrate how changes to recruitment, retention, pay decisions and career pipelines can narrow pay gaps.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and her Ministerial team regularly meet the people of Northern Ireland, and with business and civic leaders, to hear their views about a range of issues. But we are clear that this is no substitute for a fully functional power-sharing Executive in place to represent the people of Northern Ireland and to advocate for the issues that matter to them.</p><p>The Government is fully committed to ensuring that, as the UK leaves the EU, the unique interests of Northern Ireland are protected and advanced. That is why we continue to work towards the resumption of stable devolved government. The UK Government will continue to advocate for Northern Ireland’s interests and needs at the heart of government.</p><p>The Belfast Agreement, the 1998 Northern Ireland Act, and all subsequent political agreements are clear that decisions about the Civic Forum are a devolved matter for the Executive and the Assembly.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>As our Northern Ireland manifesto at the last Election made clear, the Government remains committed to the implementation of the legacy institutions in the 2014 Stormont House Agreement. We believe that taken together they have the potential to provide better outcomes for victims and survivors in a way that allows society ultimately to move forward. The bodies will be under legal obligations to operate in ways that are fair, balanced and proportionate.</p><p> </p><p>Our manifesto also set out our intention ‘to consult publicly on the details of how the new structures would work in practice’. This will be an open consultation in which all views will be welcomed and considered carefully. The Government wants to consult soon, with the aim of building support and confidence in the new legacy institutions from across the community.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government supports the provision of good quality, victim focussed restorative justice to help victims cope and recover from the effects of crime.</p><p> </p><p>We have made progress against the Ministry of Justice’s current Action Plan on Restorative Justice, published last year. This plan sets out the measures we are taking to raise awareness of restorative justice and seeks to allow victims of crime access to quality restorative justice services no matter the crime committed against them or where they live in England and Wales. With rigorous risk assessment and ongoing safeguarding in place, restorative justice carried out by experienced and skilled practitioners, can benefit victims’ recovery.</p><p> </p><p>Legislation provides for courts to defer sentence to allow restorative activities to take place, and in other circumstances to form part of a community sentence as a restorative justice requirement. In all instances, this may only be imposed where all parties involved in the activity consent and where the activity provides opportunity for the victim to have their say. We are clear however, that restorative justice should be used alongside formal criminal justice processes, and not as a substitute to a criminal justice system response.</p>
