answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office works closely with police forces to understand the demands facing them. In 2017, I spoke to every police force in England &amp; Wales about the changing demands on them. The Government responded with a funding settlement that is increasing total investment in the police system by over £460m in 2018/19, including increases in Council Tax precept income.</p><p>We are doing substantial work with the police to better understand future police demand, what capabilities the police need to respond, and how efficiency and productivity can help improve services to the public. This programme of work includes analysis by policing of the first round of force management statements. We are also working closely with policing colleagues and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services on the ongoing development of these statements.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd grouped question UIN 185646 185647 question first answered 05/11/2018 18:13:30 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office does not collect this data. The handling of 101 calls is an operational matter for the police. It is for elected Police Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables to decide how best to manage their communications and response to the public. However, any calls to 101 should be responded to in a timely manner.</p><p>I should add that most forces offer additional channels for contacting the police on non-emergency matters, for example, via online reporting tools, webchat or, in some forces, social media. The Home Office is supporting policing to maximise its use of new technologies and investing significantly in the policing sector to help develop national capability. For example, the Home Office is supporting the Digital Policing Portfolio to help expand the way policing can engage with the public digitally, as well as face to face and on the phone.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 07/11/2018 15:16:52 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

uin	185657
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>It is difficult to measure the number of children at risk of child sexual exploitation with confidence because methodologies vary and because most child sexual abuse remains unreported.</p><p>In its report, Measuring the Scale and Changing Nature of Child Sexual Abuse Child Sexual Exploitation, published in August 2018, the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse refers to several studies which have sought to assess the number of children at risk of sexual exploitation in England using different methodologies and data sources. These include a survey of 100 local authorities in 2016 which identified 13,466 children at risk, and a study by the Office of the Children's Commissioner in 2012 which estimated 16,500 children to be at risk.</p><p>The Department for Education published statistics on “Characteristics of children in need: 2017/18: England” on 25 October 2018. These show nearly 20,000 assessments carried out by children’s services where child sexual exploitation was identified as being a factor that contributed to the child being in need. However, these figures count numbers of assessments, not number of children, so if a child has more than one assessment where child sexual exploitation is identified as a factor then they will be counted more than once in these figures.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 20/11/2018 17:07:23 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
