question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many unaccompanied children seeking asylum who were housed in Home Office hotels are still missing; and what is the breakdown of (1) ages, and (2) length of time missing, for those children.
tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
uin	HL2855
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2024 answer text <p>We take any child going missing extremely seriously. When any child goes missing, a multi-agency missing persons protocol is mobilised. Many of those who have gone missing are subsequently traced and located.</p><p>As of 5 March, 118 children are still missing. The majority were aged 16 and 17 when they went missing. Only about 18 are still under the age of 18. It is important to note that this data is from a live operational database and has not been quality assured to the same standard as published data.</p><p>The most recent published data can be found at asylum and resettlement datasets on GOV.UK: (<a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CASRA-briefingcorrespondence%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C1ae9bd8daf954800c35508dc427f0953%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638458360584762407%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=M7YynO6hgRQ4WXv9z7WNDQBrYfo1CfWI0z50DbYBrpE%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a>).</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 14/03/2024 12:45:17 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that black history is taught in schools and becomes part of the broader curriculum.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL2855
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2022 answer text <p>As part of a broad and balanced curriculum, pupils should be taught about different societies, and how different groups have contributed to the development of Britain, and this can include the voices and experience of black people. The flexibility in the history curriculum means that teachers can include black history as a natural part of the themes and eras in the curriculum both in terms of British and world history, and their interconnection. For example, at key stage 1, schools can teach about the lives of key black historical figures, and at key stage 2, schools can embed teaching about black history appropriately when teaching these historical periods. Additionally there is a requirement to teach a study of a non-European society. The example provided by the department is Benin, West Africa, c. AD 900-1300. At key stage 3, schools can cover the development and end of the British Empire and Britain’s transatlantic slave trade, its effects and eventual abolition.</p><p>We are also developing a Model History Curriculum to support teaching a knowledge-rich, well-sequenced history curriculum which reflects diversity in history.</p><p>The teaching of black history need not be limited to these examples. There is scope to include black history and experience in other national curriculum subjects such as English and citizenship, and in the non-statutory subject personal, social, health and economics (PSHE) education.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 07/11/2022 17:14:37 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

Peer to the answer given to his previous question <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-07-15/hl2092" target="_blank">HL2092</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Throughout the pandemic, HSE has encouraged businesses to manage risks in order to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in workplaces through the provision of detailed guidance. HSE published updated guidance on 19<sup>th</sup> July to reflect changes as a result of the lifting of coronavirus restrictions in England <a href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/roadmap-further-guidance.htm" target="_blank">Keeping workplaces safe as coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions are removed (hse.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p> </p><p>HSE does not consider vaccination of employees to be a workplace control. Businesses must control the risks and review and update their risk assessment to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 by providing adequate ventilation, regular cleaning and frequent handwashing. Businesses can also continue to reduce the risk of transmission during the pandemic by taking measures to limit the number of people their workers are in contact with, and UK government guidance on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-covid-19" target="_blank">working safely</a> provides further information and advice on these measures covering a range of different types of work.</p><p> </p><p>Employers’ health and safety responsibilities include taking reasonable steps to protect all workers and others from the risk of transmission of COVID-19 in connection with their work activities. As these control measures apply to all workers, regardless of their relative levels of vulnerability or the potential outcome, there are no expectations of additional control measures for Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV) workers or the need for individual risk assessments.</p><p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises employers to have individual discussions with their CEV employees about any workplace concerns and understand what is in place to protect them. There is specific guidance on the HSE website to support employers to do this <a href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/working-safely/protect-people.htm" target="_blank">https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/working-safely/protect-people.htm</a></p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott grouped question UIN HL2854 HL2856 question first answered 19/10/2021 14:55:14 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to suggest that the United Nations conducts an inquiry into the reported failure of the United Nations Mission in Darfur to report allegations received on 4 November of mass rape carried out between 31 October and 2 November in Tabit, Sudan.
tabling member printed	Lord Avebury
uin	HL2855
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>The UN African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) has stated that it was denied access by Government of Sudan forces when UNAMID tried to visit Tabit on 4 November. We are aware of other reports claiming UNAMID did gain access on 4 November but we have not seen evidence to support these claims. The UK is not at this time pushing for an inquiry into UNAMID’s actions on 4 November. We note that UNAMID was granted access to Tabit on 9 November, but are concerned by reports that their investigations took place under the close observation of Sudanese security officials. We urge both UNAMID and the Government of Sudan to immediately take forward their investigations so that the full facts around the deeply disturbing allegation of mass rape in Tabit can be established.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 01/12/2014 15:20:01 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
