answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>There has not been a comprehensive assessment of the overall financial and health effects of fraud. However, Action Fraud assesses the vulnerability of victims based on the financial and health impact of the reported fraud, and provides this information to forces. This enables police forces to make targeted interventions with those most at risk. Action Fraud are currently developing a victim strategy which will provide an enhanced service to all victims of fraud.</p><p>The Care Act, introduced this year, also places a new statutory requirement for all local areas to have a Safeguarding Adult Board, the police, local authority and Clinical Commissioning Group are the core statutory members of these boards. The Safeguarding Adults Board’s remit is to work to protect people with care and support needs from all forms of harm, including financial harm. Being the victim of fraud can have a serious detrimental effect on health and well-being. The Safeguarding Adult Board are tasked with understanding the situation locally and developing preventative strategies.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 14/07/2015 16:04:46 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>The Government is committed to preventing further exploitation of vulnerable individuals who have already been victims of trafficking. Through The Salvation Army adult victim care contract in England and Wales, all potential victims who are referred into the National Referral Mechanism are provided with specialised support for a minimum period of 45 days, in excess of our international obligations. This includes work with victims to plan how they can move on safely to integrate into UK society or to return to their home country, and building resilience to avoid re-trafficking for child victims. We are currently trialling specialist child trafficking advocates who will provide dedicated support and guidance, including promoting the child’s safety and wellbeing, particularly in light of the risk of children going missing and being re-trafficked.</p><p>Implementing the Modern Slavery Strategy and the Modern Slavery Act 2015 will enhance the law enforcement response to trafficking, and help protect individuals from re-trafficking by stopping those who are responsible from exploiting further victims.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 13/07/2015 16:52:11 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2015 answer text <p>Detention is an important part of a firm and fair immigration system. Those who do not have a right to be in the UK should leave voluntarily, where they do not, we will seek to enforce their removal. It is not possible to detain indefinitely under immigration powers. Published statistics show the majority of people detained under immigration powers (63%) leave detention within 28 days, with the vast majority (93%) leaving detention within 4 months in 2014.</p><p>For detention to be lawful there must be a realistic prospect of removal in a reasonable timeframe. What amounts to a reasonable prospect of removal in a reasonable timeframe is a highly case specific consideration. An arbitrary fixed time limit may lead to the release of foreign national offenders even when deportation is imminent. Home Office published policy states that immigration detention must only be used as a last resort and that, wherever possible, alternatives to detention must be used. In practice, the majority of individuals liable to be detained at any one time are not detained but are managed in the community through the alternatives of temporary admission or bail, including the use of appropriate reporting and residence conditions or electronic monitoring.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire grouped question UIN 6246 question first answered 15/07/2015 15:23:42 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
