question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to findings by ECPAT UK of November 2017 on calls for reform of the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) by front-line professionals, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of making the NRM part of the existing child protection system.
tabling member constituency	Gedling
tabling member printed	Vernon Coaker
uin	116310
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>We recognise the essential role local authorities play in the safeguarding of all children in their care, regardless of their backgrounds or experiences. It is absolutely right that local authorities continue to make decisions about the placement and welfare of children they have responsibility for, which includes assessing risks such as trafficking, and considering the need to refer them to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM).</p><p>The recently announced package of reforms to the NRM includes a number of measures that will improve the process for both adults and children. A single expert unit will be created in the Home Office to handle all cases referred from front line staff and to make decisions about whether somebody is a victim of modern slavery. This will replace the current case management units in the National Crime Agency and UK Visas and Immigration and will be separate from the immigration system.</p><p>In addition government will be introducing an independent panel of experts to review all negative conclusive grounds decisions, adding significantly to the scrutiny such cases currently receive.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 04/12/2017 17:24:27 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

question text	To ask the Home Secretary, what assessment she has made of the level of bullying reported against disabled people.
tabling member constituency	Ogmore
tabling member printed	Chris Elmore
uin	116316
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government is very clear that bullying is unwanted and offensive behaviour and should not be tolerated in any sector of our society. There is no doubt that bullying can be detrimental to the health and well-being of any person who experiences it.</p><p><br>Although the very nature of bullying means that it is often a very subjective term, which makes it hard to legislate for, the harassment provisions of the Equality Act 2010 make it clear that any ‘unwanted or prohibited conduct’ related to a protected characteristic (including disability), which violates an individual’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them, is unlawful. Bullying behaviours may also, in some circumstances, be proscribed by the victimisation provisions of the Act.</p><p><br>The Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) record the number of calls they receive about harassment and victimisation of disabled people and have reported that, between 1 October 2016, when the current EASS contract started, and 31 October 2017 there were 590 contacts from disabled people about harassment or victimisation, out of a total of 11,817 disability-related calls.</p><p>In 2016/17 5,558 disability hate crimes were recorded by the police. Not all incidents of bullying will be classed as hate crimes or even reported to the police; however, there may be some instances that escalate to become disability hate crimes.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 20/12/2017 15:30:06 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
