question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Kickstart scheme placements have been (a) approved, (b) advertised and (c) started by young people in each (i) sector, (ii) region and (iii) nation as of 11 May 2022.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>The most recent data available is for the 8 May 2022. At that point over 162,600 Kickstart jobs had been started by young people. The last Kickstart jobs were started by young people on 31 March 2022, and we expect the number of starts to increase further as employers report commencement of employment.</p><p>We have previously published the number of jobs approved and advertised as of 31 January 2022, <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-01-31/114956" target="_blank">here.</a> At that point, over 235,000 jobs had been advertised and over 305,000 had been approved. Kickstart has now closed to employer applications and, as of March 2022, all approved jobs proceeding to the advertisement stage, have been advertised. As such, these totals will not increase further.</p><p>Below are tables listing the number of Kickstart jobs which have been made available and started by young people to date by geographical area of Great Britain and work sector. The figures used are correct as of the 8 May 2022 and these figures have been rounded according to departmental standards.</p><p>Jobs made available (advertised) and job starts quoted here include some unfunded Kickstart jobs. Also included in the Great Britain total are a small number of jobs made available (less than 100 in total) that have an unrecorded job location.</p><p>The number of approved jobs is defined as the number of jobs associated with approved applications recorded on the Kickstart application system on the date above. This total excludes approved jobs that have been withdrawn from the Kickstart Scheme by agreement with employers and gateways. This is generally because, over time, some previously approved jobs were removed where the employer chose not to follow up the application.</p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system, which has been developed quickly.</p><p>The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information available for the programme.</p><p><strong>Table 1: Number of Kickstart total available jobs and job starts, Great Britain, by nation and region (figures rounded to nearest 100*)</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs made available</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs started</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Region / Nation Split</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA RETAINED FROM 31/01/22)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA EFFECTIVE 08/05/22)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total, Great Britain</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>235,000</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>162,600</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>England</strong></p></td><td><p>204,000</p></td><td><p>140,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td><td><p>10,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>18,000</p></td><td><p>11,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>51,000</p></td><td><p>32,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td><td><p>8,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>30,000</p></td><td><p>20,600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>26,000</p></td><td><p>17,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td><td><p>9,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>21,000</p></td><td><p>15,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire and The Humber</p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>13,700</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Scotland</strong></p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>14,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Wales</strong></p></td><td><p>12,000</p></td><td><p>8,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Table 2: Number of Kickstart total available jobs and job starts, Great Britain, by Sector (figures rounded to the nearest 10*)</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Sector Split</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs made available</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs started</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA RETAINED FROM 31/01/22)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA EFFECTIVE 08/05/22)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Administration</p></td><td><p>57,350</p></td><td><p>40,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Animal Care</p></td><td><p>1,610</p></td><td><p>1,330</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Beauty &amp; Wellbeing</p></td><td><p>1,720</p></td><td><p>1,320</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Business &amp; Finance</p></td><td><p>8,500</p></td><td><p>5,930</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Computing Technology &amp; Digital</p></td><td><p>15,840</p></td><td><p>12,360</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Construction &amp; Trades</p></td><td><p>7,230</p></td><td><p>5,190</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Creative &amp; Media</p></td><td><p>20,990</p></td><td><p>16,730</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Delivery &amp; Storage</p></td><td><p>6,380</p></td><td><p>4,430</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Emergency &amp; Uniform Services</p></td><td><p>520</p></td><td><p>360</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Engineering &amp; Maintenance</p></td><td><p>7,080</p></td><td><p>4,900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Environment &amp; Land</p></td><td><p>4,620</p></td><td><p>3,450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Government Services</p></td><td><p>1,000</p></td><td><p>710</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Healthcare</p></td><td><p>6,140</p></td><td><p>3,460</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Home Services</p></td><td><p>1,560</p></td><td><p>900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hospitality &amp; Food</p></td><td><p>26,380</p></td><td><p>14,060</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Law &amp; Legal</p></td><td><p>650</p></td><td><p>520</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Managerial</p></td><td><p>960</p></td><td><p>660</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Manufacturing</p></td><td><p>6,430</p></td><td><p>4,400</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retail &amp; Sales</p></td><td><p>34,970</p></td><td><p>26,450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Science &amp; Research</p></td><td><p>990</p></td><td><p>790</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Social Care</p></td><td><p>4,740</p></td><td><p>2,640</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sports &amp; Leisure</p></td><td><p>5,920</p></td><td><p>4,170</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Teaching &amp; Education</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td><td><p>6,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Transport</p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>460</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Travel &amp; Tourism</p></td><td><p>1,110</p></td><td><p>580</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>*</strong> <strong>Due to rounding, sum of figures may not match declared total</strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 18/05/2022 11:27:28 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

The CMS can also deduct directly from bank accounts as a lump sum or regular amount. We have a range of other strong enforcement powers, including the use of Enforcement Agents to take control of goods, forcing the sale of property, disqualification from holding a UK passport or commitment to prison.</p><p> </p><p>The CMS is committed to using its wide ranging enforcement powers proportionally, and in the best interests of children and separated families, and must consider on a case by case basis whether taking action will secure more money for children.</p><p>Since 2018 we have introduced new collection and enforcement powers. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the new powers. At present we have no plans to further extend these powers.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 26/02/2020 13:04:05 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
