	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>In prosecuting cases of wilful neglect by social workers, prosecutors apply the two stages of the Full Code Test, as set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors. There must be sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and a prosecution must be in the public interest. The Director of Public Prosecutions will shortly issue further guidance for prosecutors on the ill treatment or wilful neglect offences created by sections 20 and 21 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015. These provisions allow for the prosecution of, amongst others, social workers and social care providers providing formal adult social care who ill-treat or wilfully neglect individuals in their care. They add to criminal offences addressing the ill-treatment or wilful neglect of children, adults who lack capacity, and those subject to the Mental Health Act 1983.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam question first answered 13/07/2015 10:34:06

In the future, GLD, the AGO and HMCPSI will look to adopt the carers’ charter currently being developed by Civil Service Employee Policy, and introduce the carer’s passport so that people moving around the organisation for developmental or career reasons will be able to discuss and manage their situation with their new management in a more open and consistent manner.</p><p>CPS offer advice and guidance from their ‘Employee Assistance’ providers and a member of the SFO’s senior management team has been appointed as a Flexible Working Champion to ensure that all staff are fully supported in any personal commitments, such as caring responsibilities and is establishing a group to help promote and embed the ideals of flexible working within the SFO.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon question first answered 25/01/2018 11:15:11

The CPS does not stipulate that suppliers and agencies must pay the living wage rate as calculated by the Living Wage Foundation.</p><p>Suppliers of outsourced services and agencies are responsible for setting rates of pay and actual rates of pay are dependent on location and market rates. The CPS does not hold information on individual rates of pay for contractor staff and therefore it is unable to provide or estimate the number of contractor staff paid less than the national living wage as defined be the Living Wage Foundation.</p><p>The Attorney General’s Office (AGO), the Government Legal Department (GLD) and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) pay all direct employees, agency staff and outsourced staff more than the living wage, as defined by the Living Wage Foundation.</p><p>Currently fewer than five employees of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) are paid less than the London Living Wage. No agency staff employed by the SFO are paid less than the London Living Wage. The SFO is not responsible for the pay rates of staff engaged by service providers, and does not hold complete information on their remuneration.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam question first answered 30/04/2018 07:36:27
