answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2014 answer text <p>The Home Secretary has not issued any guidance to the press office on dealing with student journalists.The press office receives between 100 and 200 calls a day from accredited regional, national, international and specialist journalists from both print and broadcast media. Any student journalist who contacts the Home Office press office in relation to a student publication is advised that statistics, departmental announcements, <br>ministerial speeches and quotes, which may assist their enquiries, are available on the government website, gov.uk. We do not have the resources to deal with any student request related to their studies.This is a common approach adopted by other government departments and organisations of a similar size which receive significant media interest.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 30/10/2014 11:37:50 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2014 answer text <p>Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are much more visible than the anonymous Police Authorities they replaced. Previously, only seven per cent of the public knew to go to their Police Authority if they had a problem with policing in the local area. According to the latest independent Crime Survey for <br>England and Wales, seven out of ten members of the public are aware of PCCs.<br><br>In January, the National Audit Office, in their policing landscape review, said that public engagement had increased by 42 per cent. Public correspondence to PCCs has also increased markedly compared to that received by Police Authorities, with some PCCs’ offices reporting an 800 per cent increase.<br><br>In the lead up to the 2012 elections the department ran a national awareness raising marketing campaign informing the public of the role and <br>responsibilities a police and crime commissioner has. Since 2012 the department has run two further marketing campaigns, preceding by-elections in <br>the West Midlands and South Yorkshire. These campaigns advertised in local press and across local radio stations as well as online advertising. <br><br>Information about police and crime commissioners is made available on a range of government websites including GOV.UK and choosemypcc.org.uk. In addition, full details about all 41 PCCs is on the government's police.co.uk website which allows the public to access information showing the level of crime in their area and police performance. The website is one of the Government’s most popular with over 63 million visits since 2011.</p><p /> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 03/11/2014 17:23:17 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
