answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2023 answer text <p>As set out in section 507B of the Education Act 1996, Local Authorities have a statutory duty to ‘secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision of educational and recreational leisure-time activities for young people’. This is funded from the Local Government settlement, the majority of which is un-ringfenced, allowing local authorities to spend on services according to local priorities, including on youth services. The settlement is anticipated to be almost £60 billion this year (FY 23/24) for councils in England - a 9% increase on the previous year.</p><p>In England the government recognises the vital role that youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people.The government has committed to a National Youth Guarantee: that by 2025, every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer. This is supported by a three-year investment of over £500 million in youth services, reflecting young people's priorities and addressing the inconsistencies in national youth spending with a firm focus on levelling up.</p><p>Young people in York will benefit from elements of the National Youth Guarantee, for example, a year-round National Citizen Service programme; increased access to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award; expanded uniformed youth groups and volunteering opportunities through the #iwill Fund.</p><p>The devolved administrations of Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are responsible for their own youth services.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 09/05/2023 07:46:39 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2023 answer text <p>In common with all businesses and providers of services, licensed premises are required to comply with the provisions of the Equality Act 2010. This includes making reasonable adjustments for disabled customers and this duty is anticipatory, meaning that service providers must anticipate the adjustments that disabled customers may reasonably need, rather than await requests for such adjustments before acting.</p><p>In line with civil law principles, it is for individuals who feel that they have experienced discrimination - for example by a licensed premises for failing to make a reasonable adjustment - to take advice and if necessary legal action under the 2010 Act, to remedy the situation.</p><p>The Equality Hub expects all sectors, including hospitality, to comply with their legal duties and does not routinely consider the performance of individual sectors. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has powers to investigate such matters but as a body is independent of Government and makes its own decisions on prioritising its work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 16/05/2023 16:06:11 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
