answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>The Government takes domestic violence and abuse extremely seriously and recognises that young people can be victims in both the home and their relationships. In March 2013, the non-statutory definition of domestic violence and abuse was extended to include 16 and 17-year-olds.</p><p>In doing so the Government hopes to encourage young people to come forward and get the support they need, through a helpline or specialist service. Whilst domestic abuse against under 16s is captured by child abuse and existing child protection systems we continue to keep the non-statutory definition of domestic abuse under constant review.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 12/05/2016 11:38:03 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to introducing appropriate support for trafficked children. It is important we get these structures right however, given the significant risks to these children.</p><p>In line with the requirements of Section 48(7) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Government laid a report before Parliament in December 2015 setting out the steps we proposed to take in relation to independent child trafficking advocates. The full report can be obtained here:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-child-trafficking-advocates-trial-government-report</p><p>Since December 2015, we have worked to address issues identified during the trial. We have engaged with Members of both Houses, the offices of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner and Children’s Commissioner for England. We have also sought views from the voluntary sector and statutory organisations in England and Wales. This engagement has been valuable in assessing how best to deliver an improved service for trafficked children in England and Wales.</p><p>As part of this engagement, I wrote to the Chairs of the three All Party Parliamentary Groups with the strongest interest in the trial in March, saying that I would wait to receive their views in writing before making a statement to the House about how we will proceed. This week I received letters from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery and from the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. I am reflecting on their recommendations and will provide an update to Parliament once we have had an opportunity to consider their valuable input.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 10/05/2016 12:16:17 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 59643 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
