uin	HL3494
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>All school staff have a responsibility to identify children who may be in need of extra help or who are suffering, or are likely to suffer, significant harm. All staff then have a responsibility to take appropriate action, working with other services as required. Those responsibilities, which apply to the risk of forced marriage as to any other form of abuse, are set out in ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ statutory guidance for schools and their staff which the Government published in April 2014.[1]</p><p>The statutory guidance contains links to more detailed guidance on specific risks, including multi-Agency guidelines on forced marriage.[2] The chapter of those guidelines which focuses on schools, colleges and universities indicates: what teachers should look out for, such as changes in behaviour or attendance or the early marriage of a sibling; how they can support girls, by giving access to support and advice; and what they should do if they suspect a girl is being forced into marriage, including activating local child protection procedures.</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education</a></p><p>[2] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/322307/HMG_MULTI_AGENCY_PRACTICE_GUIDELINES_v1_180614_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/322307/HMG_MULTI_AGENCY_PRACTICE_GUIDELINES_v1_180614_FINAL.pdf</a></p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 10/12/2014 17:11:53 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the eCall system to be introduced in motor cars from 31 March 2018.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL3467
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government recognises that eCall has the potential to improve road safety further, but it is important that each initiative is carefully considered on its merits. After considering the results of independent research we are concerned that the benefits of making eCall mandatory in all new cars will not justify the cost of implementing it in the UK. That is why the UK does not support the EU proposed mandatory installation of eCall in new passenger cars and vans at this time. Motorists should be free to choose a third party eCall system if they wish, and calls from these systems are already supported by UK emergency call centres.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 10/12/2014 15:31:55 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
