question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 1 July 2019 to Question 269813, for what reason information is not collated in relation to children.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2019 answer text <p>As stated in the previous answer information is collected locally on a young person’s entry into custody, and may be updated over the course of their custodial episode. This information helps to inform staff in relation to the children in their immediate care.</p><p>As part of their assessment Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) record a child’s accommodation status and seek to address any issues relating to this. The Youth Justice Board is currently undertaking work to improve its own data collection and a child’s accommodation status will be included in this. The Ministry of Justice, however, does not hold a national coordinating role in this regard, so there is currently no essential business reason to collate this centrally. It is the general duty of every local authority to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within their area who are in need by providing a range and level of services, including accommodation, appropriate to those children’s needs.</p><p>We believe that everyone should have a safe and suitable home to live; having somewhere to live gives people a stable platform from which to access health services, hold down a job and reduces the likelihood of them reoffending. In keeping with this the Government published its Rough Sleeping Strategy in August 2018, launching a £100 million initiative to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping across England.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 09/07/2019 15:39:19 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
