answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>NHS England commissioned an independent assessment of the Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG) leadership and culture as part of their role as the CCG’s regulator. The independent assessor did not uncover any issues on whistleblowing therefore the report does not make recommendations on their approach to whistleblowing. However, NHS England are always keen to learn and improve how we listen and respond to staff.</p><p>Sheffield CCG takes all concerns raised by staff very seriously and invites anyone who has concerns to raise them under its Freedom to Speak Up: Raising Concerns (Whistleblowing) Policy and/or Dignity at work (prevention of bullying and harassment) policy. The CCG encourages staff to speak up and is committed to dealing with them responsibly and professionally.</p><p>NHS England will be developing an improvement plan, with input from staff and partners, to systematically address all the issues in the report.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/03/2019 14:22:31 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

uin	HL14370
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office is leading a multi-agency review of First Responders to identify who should perform this role and how they should be trained. As part of this review, the Government will consider what mandatory training First Responders should undertake, including mandatory training on child-specific material. The results of this review will be published in Spring.</p><p>In November 2017, the Department for Education published a Safeguarding Strategy (for unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children). The Strategy commissioned a further 1000 training places for carers and support workers to equip them with the skills they need to identify when a child is at risk of going missing and of potentially being trafficked onwards. The Refugee Council has been commissioned to deliver this training and will have delivered 1000 places by the end of March 2019.</p><p>Independent Child Trafficking Advocates (ICTAs) receive training which includes awareness of the child’s culture, customs, language, etiquette and history as this enables the ICTA to engage more effectively with the child. The ICTA Service also employs two Vietnamese nationals who speak Vietnamese, to help with appropriate and accurate translation as well as supporting the ICTA with being culturally relevant when supporting children and young people.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL14373 question first answered 25/03/2019 17:39:54 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
