answer text <p>DFID provides significant support to protect children from violence around the world in both development and humanitarian contexts. Funding is delivered directly through child protection programming, as well as through wider education, nutrition, health, economic development and social protection programming. Current examples of support include providing £5 million to the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children that is driving international progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 16.2 and on which the Secretary of State is a board member, £26 million to a Regional Programme in Asia targeting the worst forms of child labour and £29.7 million to Education Cannot Wait, a global fund for education in emergencies which has protection at its centre.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently no codes or markers within the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) database that allow for the systematic identification and tracking of all spending on protecting children from violence. World Vision International is currently working with DFID, alongside other development partners, civil society and the DAC to explore whether a new process for identifying donor spend on violence against children can be agreed.</p>

answer text <p>The UK position on this matter is long-standing and well-known to the US Administration. We believe it diminishes the prospect for positive change in Cuba and we consider it to be counter-productive and damaging, including to UK interests. It is right that the UK has again voted in support of the Cuban resolution at this year's UN General Assembly on 1 November.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Ministers have regular meetings with stakeholders in football to discuss a number of topics, and as with all sports, we encourage organisations who benefit from gambling advertising or sponsorship, including football clubs, to look at how they can contribute to raising awareness of the potential risks associated. Gambling logos are already banned on under-18 team shirts and last year the Football Association voluntarily decided to end its sponsorship partnerships with betting companies to avoid conflict with its role in enforcing rules on betting rules.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​We continue to raise the importance of countering discrimination within the Commonwealth, including on grounds of gender identity or sexual orientation. In her speech to the Commonwealth Forums on 17 April, my Rt Hon Friend the Prime Minister set out the UK's readiness to support any member state wanting to reform outdated legislation that makes discrimination on the grounds of gender identity or sexual orientation possible. The Prime Minister was clear that while we must respect one another's cultures and traditions, we must do so in a manner consistent with our common value of equality, a value that is clearly stated in the Commonwealth Charter. We have since announced a £5.6m programme working with civil society organisations to support those countries who might wish to reform discriminatory legislation. Due to the highly sensitive and sometimes dangerous nature of this work, it would not be appropriate to name specific member states.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Private Registered Providers of social housing, housing associations registered with the Social Housing Regulator, must comply with the Regulator's standards framework. The standard on allocations compels Private Registered Providers of social housing to allocate their properties in a fair, transparent and efficient way; taking into account the housing needs and aspirations of tenants and potential tenants. They must also demonstrate how their lettings make the best use of available housing, are compatible with the purpose of the housing, and contribute to local authorities’ strategic housing function and sustainable communities. As private bodies, it is for Private Registered Providers of social housing to create and implement an allocations strategy for their properties that enables them to meet the requirements of this standard.</p><p>The Regulator’s standards framework also requires that Private Registered Providers of social housing work in partnership with other public agencies to prevent and tackle anti-social behaviour in the neighbourhoods where they own homes and demonstrate that prompt, appropriate and decisive action is taken to deal with anti-social behaviour before it escalates.</p><p>The Regulator's standards are published at:<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/regulatory-standards" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/regulatory-standards</a>.</p><p> </p>
