answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Coalition Government signed the Istanbul Convention on 8 June 2012 signalling its strong commitment on tackling violence against women and girls. The UK already has some of the most robust protections in the world against violence towards women and we already comply with the majority of the articles to the Convention. <br><br>One of the key components was the criminalisation of forced marriage which has now come into force following Royal Assent of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. However Government Departments and the Devolved Administrations continue to rigorously examine whether we are doing everything necessary to be able to ratify the Convention. In particular, this includes considering the extent to which we first need to take extra-territorial jurisdiction in respect of offences established in accordance with the Convention.</p><p /> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 16/09/2014 16:32:04 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2014 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) provides the National Health Service and social care providers with advice on delivering effective healthcare. NICE has published guidelines on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), set out in, <em>Crohn’s disease: Management in adults, children and young people, </em>published in October 2012 and, <em>Ulcerative colitis: Management in adults, children and young people</em>, published in June 2013. NHS England expects local commissioners and providers to consider the latest evidence and guidance when planning services for patients with all conditions, including IBD.</p><p>NICE is currently developing a Quality Standard for IBD, covering both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and invited submissions to its development group from key stakeholders as part of this process. Quality Standards are important in setting out to patients, the public, commissioners and providers the key elements of a high quality service in a particular area of care. The IBD Standards Group made a submission to the development group which drew on its new standards of care, published in October 2013. The Quality Standard is due to be published later this month.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 09/09/2014 13:02:53 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb

tabling member constituency	Totnes

uin	904664
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The Government believes that internet providers, schools and parents all have a role to play in keeping children and young people safe online.</p><p>All schools must have a behaviour policy which includes measures to prevent all forms of bullying, including cyberbullying. The ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education' guidance outlines the importance of tackling cyberbullying, which can be found online at:</p><p><a href="http://www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/schools-the-wider-sector/cyberbullying.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/schools-the-wider-sector/cyberbullying.aspx</a></p><p>Schools have the flexibility to develop their own measures to prevent and tackle bullying, but are held to account by Ofsted.</p><p>The Government recognises that educating young people about online safety is key to tackling cyberbullying. As part of changes to the new computing programmes of study which will be taught from September 2014, e-safety will be taught at all four key stages. This will empower young people to tackle cyberbullying through responsible, respectful and secure use of technology, as well as ensuring that pupils understand age-appropriate ways of reporting any concerns they may have about what they see or encounter online.</p><p>The new curriculum also offers opportunities to tackle the underlying causes of bullying; for example the new citizenship programme of study sets out a requirement for pupils to be taught about the diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom and the need for mutual respect and understanding.</p><p>The Department for Education is providing £4 million of funding over two years from 2013 to four anti-bullying organisations: Beatbullying, the Diana Award, Kidscape and the National Children's Bureau consortium. While this funding has been awarded to specific projects to reduce bullying in general this can, and does, include work to tackle cyberbullying.</p><p>The Department has produced case studies showing good practice in how to manage behaviour and bullying. These include a case study about how a school deals with cyber-bullying. Also through funding provided by the Department the Anti-Bullying Alliance has produced specific advice on cyberbullying for children and young people with special educational needs and or disabilities. We provide a link to this in our own advice on preventing and tackling bullying.</p><p>Government ministers have regular meetings with internet providers, social media platforms and search engines on matters related to internet safety, including cyber-bullying. Ministers from the Department for Education, Home Office and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport also co-chair the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) which brings together a range of experts across government, law enforcement, industry, academia and charities to consider the best ways to minimise the risk of harm to children when online.</p><p>In July 2013 the Prime Minister announced measures to support parents to install free and easy to use internet filters which can block access to harmful websites. The Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have now rolled out easy to use filtering to all new customers and will confirm that, by the end of 2014, 95% of all homes with an existing internet connection will be required to choose whether to switch on a whole home family friendly internet filter. The filters are constantly being refined and updated by the ISPs to keep families as safe as possible in the fast changing digital world. The ISPs have also announced a new £25 million internet safety campaign over 3 years that will reach out to millions of parents on how best to protect their children and make good use of filters.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 07/07/2014 15:19:13 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
