	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>We’re investing £1 billion to modernise the justice system, making it easier to use and providing better value for the taxpayer. Our reforms will provide a range of ways to access our services (digital, paper and phone) so users can choose the way the want to interact with HMCTS at any given time. Our digital services are developed iteratively, meaning that we continuously refine them to ensure they are as simple and easy to use as possible. However, we know that this isn’t always an option for some people so our assisted digital support services help people who are less confident using online systems to use the digital services.</p><p>HMCTS is piloting face to face digital support in 18 locations. Paper forms will also remain for those who choose to use them and improvements are also being made to paper forms.</p><p>We recognise that we need to look further at how we support those who need help with the digital process. HMCTS is continuing to raise awareness of the support on offer to ensure those who require help in these pilot areas can access it. Community engagement in pilot locations is increasing the number of referrals and seven sites will be added to the face-to-face pilot in May.</p><p>Pilot face-to-face centres are able to identify and refer people who need digital support to use HMCTS services in their communities. Since starting this process in January 2019, take up of the service has increased week on week with 41 people now having had successful appointments. We are continuing to look at the ways we can ensure that people get the support that they need.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/04/2019 16:29:15 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2018 answer text <p>We treat all hate crime with equal seriousness; there is no place for treating victims differently regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or gender identity. Our funding of projects reflects this approach and that is why we fund a number of initiatives that combat hate crime across all five strands and do not allocate specific funding to target specific areas. Our work to combat religiously motivated hatred tackles anti-Muslim hatred and anti-Semitism, alongside hatred directed at any person or group based on their religion.</p><p>Since 2010 the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has provided £3.7 million to local projects to challenge hate crime. We expect to spend a further £1.5 million by March 2018. This includes support for programmes such as the Anne Frank Trust's Switch<br>Off Prejudice programme which encourages young people to consider the consequences of prejudice, persecution and discrimination, support for community organisations such as Tell MAMA and the Community Security Trust, and establishing the Hate Crime Support Group which networks organisations tackling hatred across all five protected categories to share best practice and offer the best support for victims.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 21/03/2018 17:29:47 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
