answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>I have been asked to reply. Section 11 of the Children and Families Act 2014 requires courts to presume that a child benefits from the involvement of each parent who can be involved in a way which does not put the child at risk of harm. This is subject to the principle that the welfare of the child must be the courts' paramount consideration. ‘Involvement' may be direct or indirect and it is for courts to determine the most appropriate way for a parent to be involved in the light of the individual circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Section 11 of the Act will be commenced in the autumn. One of the aims of the policy is to encourage parents to resolve disputes without the need for court intervention. The Government therefore intends to consider the impact of the policy as part of wider work to assess the impact of the family justice provisions in the Act.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>I sympathise deeply with anyone who suffers from an injury or debilitating condition sustained in utero. As part of the ‘Getting it right for victims and witnesses' consultation, which was published in January 2012, we looked in detail at the definition of a “crime of violence” for the purposes of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS). After the consultation, a decision was taken to exclude injuries sustained by an unborn child if the mother willingly consumes harmful substances during pregnancy. We implemented a new Scheme in November 2012.</p><p> </p><p>Below is a link to the ‘Getting it right for victims and witnesses' Consultation Paper and the Government's Response.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/victims-witnesses" target="_blank">https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/victims-witnesses</a></p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 09/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green
