	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Data flows are important to consumers and businesses, including start-ups, SMEs and large corporations, as the ability to collect, share and process personal data is crucial for the digital and wider economy. The free flow of personal data is an important underpinning feature of the UK’s and EU’s future relationship for both economic and security purposes. In no deal, it is in everyone’s interests that the exchange of personal data between EU Member States and the UK continues.</p><p>In no deal, given the degree of alignment between the UK and EU’s data protection regimes, the UK will transitionally recognise all EEA states, EU adequate third countries, EU and EEA institutions, and Gibraltar, as though they have been subject to an affirmative adequacy decision by the UK. This will allow personal data to continue to flow freely from the UK to the EU. The UK would keep all of these decisions under review.</p><p>UK and EU/EEA organisations should take steps immediately to mitigate the impact by implementing alternative transfer mechanisms to send personal data from the EU/EEA to the UK. Details of what alternative transfer mechanisms are available and how to make use of them are set out in guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office and on GOV.UK.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 09/09/2019 10:30:16 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>Office for National Statistics (ONS) wellbeing statistics inform Health and Wellbeing policy across the Civil Service. DCMS measures personal wellbeing through the annual Civil Service People Survey using the same national statistics that the ONS use for the UK population as a whole. The four personal wellbeing questions are: Life Satisfaction, Worthwhile, Happiness, and Anxiety. Further details can be found <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/wellbeing/bulletins/measuringnationalwellbeing/july2017tojune2018" target="_blank">here</a>. Findings from the survey are used to inform our HR policies and support services. No new policies have been introduced in the last 12 months, but we have focused on improving the wellbeing support and services available to staff. This includes:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Working alongside our Mental Health and Wellbeing Network to ensure that staff with mental health conditions are supported in managing their conditions. The network has a Senior Civil Servant (SCS) champion who supports, advises and represents the Network at a senior level.</li><li>Increasing the number of Mental Health First Aiders in DCMS from 22 to 32. These champions are trained to provide support and guide people towards appropriate professional help.</li><li>Using external providers such as the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and the HR Casework team to support employee wellbeing. Our HR Casework offer has extended in the past 12 months and now includes both a dedicated line for managers and an ‘Early Resolution Helpline’ for all employees to discuss work-related issues which may affect wellbeing.</li><li>Providing a health referral process which establishes the requirement for any adjustments for employees suffering from a mental health or physical condition. Individuals are then directed to the most appropriate provider for support.</li><li>Launching a Menopause group as part of our Women’s network.</li><li>Running a series of sessions on wellbeing and resilience in the workplace as part of ‘DCMS Live’, a week of interactive learning which is available to all staff.</li><li>Redesigning the internal DCMS intranet pages for health and wellbeing to ensure it remains clear and accessible to all.</li><li>Using induction materials to signpost new starters to the resources available to them to support their wellbeing.</li><li>Mandating ‘Wellbeing Confident’ training for all SCS (based on the PERMA model using positive psychology techniques) which has equipped senior leaders with tools to have open discussions about mental health and wellbeing within their teams; and delivering team based sessions across the Department to embed this.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 23/10/2019 15:21:08 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
