answer text <p>The Russian government’s decree of 29 December 2014 prohibited certain groups from driving. The Russian Ministry of Health stated on 13 January that the law does not relate to drivers’ sexual orientation, but did not mention transgender people. We have asked the Russian government for clarification on the application and implementation of this amendment in order to fully understand its impact.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Discipline Procedures are central to the maintenance of a safe custodial environment. They are provided for by the Young Offender Institution (YOI) Rules which require adjudications to be conducted lawfully, fairly and justly, and for young people to have a full opportunity to hear what is alleged against them and to present their case. A possible outcome of an adjudication hearing is for a young person to be removed from their wing or living unit for a period of up to 21 days under YOI R 60 (1) (g). Removal from unit means that the young person is relocated to other accommodation within the establishment but otherwise continues to participate, as far as possible, in normal regime activities. No young people were given an adjudication award of removal from unit at Feltham in 2014.</p><p> </p><p>Young people in custody are some of the most vulnerable people in society and their safety and welfare is our highest priority. We aim to use segregation as little as possible, but there are occasions when behaviour is so challenging and violent that it is necessary to remove a young person from association in order to guarantee their safety and that of others.</p><p> </p><p>Young people detained in under 18 public sector Young Offender Institutions (YOIs) must only be segregated when absolutely necessary. This may be to protect the safety of persons living in, working in or visiting an establishment, for their own protection, for a short period pending an adjudication hearing or to maintain order and discipline. Young people must be segregated under the proper authority as provided by the YOI Rules. Any decision to segregate a young person is subject to regular review and a range of safeguarding measures are in place to ensure appropriate oversight of their care.

answer text <p>Discipline Procedures are central to the maintenance of a safe custodial environment. They are provided for by the Young Offender Institution (YOI) Rules which require adjudications to be conducted lawfully, fairly and justly, and for young people to have a full opportunity to hear what is alleged against them and to present their case. A possible outcome of an adjudication hearing is for a young person to be removed from their wing or living unit for a period of up to 21 days under YOI R 60 (1) (g). Removal from unit means that the young person is relocated to other accommodation within the establishment but otherwise continues to participate, as far as possible, in normal regime activities. No young people were given an adjudication award of removal from unit at Feltham in 2014.</p><p> </p><p>Young people in custody are some of the most vulnerable people in society and their safety and welfare is our highest priority. We aim to use segregation as little as possible, but there are occasions when behaviour is so challenging and violent that it is necessary to remove a young person from association in order to guarantee their safety and that of others.</p><p> </p><p>Young people detained in under 18 public sector Young Offender Institutions (YOIs) must only be segregated when absolutely necessary. This may be to protect the safety of persons living in, working in or visiting an establishment, for their own protection, for a short period pending an adjudication hearing or to maintain order and discipline. Young people must be segregated under the proper authority as provided by the YOI Rules. Any decision to segregate a young person is subject to regular review and a range of safeguarding measures are in place to ensure appropriate oversight of their care. There are careful limits placed on the length of time for which young people can be separated and they cannot be segregated as a punishment.</p><p>Table A below shows the ethnicity of young people located in the Care and Separation Unit (CSU) at Feltham in each month of 2014.</p><p> </p><p>Table A</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Jan</p></td><td><p>Feb</p></td><td><p>Mar</p></td><td><p>Apr</p></td><td><p>May</p></td><td><p>June</p></td><td><p>July</p></td><td><p>Aug</p></td><td><p>Sept</p></td><td><p>Oct</p></td><td><p>Nov</p></td><td><p>Dec</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Asian</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Black</p></td><td><p>16</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>24</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>45</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>20</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mixed</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>White British</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>14</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>White Irish</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>White Other</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Not Stated</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>We are unable to give a definitive reason for the dips and spikes in figures around particular months in the table above as it is normal for the numbers to fluctuate. However, we know that this is consistent with data on assaults from the establishment which may be a contributory factor. We also know that in October there were a number of multi perpetrator assaults which led to a large number of young people being segregated for short periods of time in the immediate aftermath.</p><p> </p><p>Information on the number of young people located on Feltham’s CSU who have an identified mental health condition, and information on the number of young people subject to Feltham’s single unlock policy, is not collected centrally.

answer text <p /> <p>The Department is committed to providing services which embrace diversity and which promote equality of opportunity. As an employer, we are also committed to equality and valuing diversity within our workforce. Our goal is to ensure that these commitments are embedded in our day to day working practices with all our customers, colleagues and partners.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is legally required to consider the impact of our policies and processes on people who share a protected characteristic, and to document our findings in order that we can provide evidence on this if challenged.</p><p> </p><p>Following changes to equality legislation, the Department began moving away from the previous formal Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) to Equality Analysis (EA) in April 2012. DWP takes very seriously its duty under the Equality Act 2010 and Equality Analysis is the Department’s approach to paying ‘due regard’ to the requirements of the Equality Act and enables equality to be considered as part of everyday decision making processes.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of individual policy areas to decide what is appropriate and proportionate for them when developing or implementing policies, services or changes that affect customers and DWP staff as the Equality Act does not specify a prescribed Equality Analysis process. As such we do not hold a central record of the number of equality analyses produced by the Department.</p>
