	answer	answer answer text <p>Increasing the number of rape convictions continues to be a priority in the criminal justice system. On 6 June 2014, a Rape Action Plan was jointly published by the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which sets out a series of actions designed to improve the criminal justice response in rape cases. This followed a Rape National Scrutiny Panel led by the Director of Public Prosecutions and the National Policing lead for rape, which considered the investigation and prosecution of rape cases including their referral from the police to the CPS. The Action plan can be found on the CPS website at; <a href="http://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/equality/vaw/rape_action_plan.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/equality/vaw/rape_action_plan.pdf</a></p><p> </p> question first answered 19/06/2014 15:39:55 answering member 69

However the Workplace Employers Relations Study (WERS) found that overall well-being of employees increased between 2004 and 2011 despite the recession. Overall job satisfaction also increased and is very high by international standards.</p><p>Zero hour contracts have a place in today's labour market, supporting business flexibility, making it easier to hire new staff and providing pathways to employment for young people.</p><p>Following a public consultation, which closed in March this year, this Government has introduced legislation via the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill to ban the use of exclusivity clauses in contracts which do not guarantee any hours.</p> question first answered 26/06/2014 16:46:18 answering member 1497
