answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Department of Health, Ministry of Justice and the Home Office are working closely with NHS England to deliver Liaison &amp; Diversion services. These will ensure that offenders' health needs (mental health, learning disability and substance misuse) are identified and assessed, and that the appropriate referral is made at the earliest opportunity within the criminal justice system. The information gained from such assessments should inform key decision makers within the CJS, so that prosecutors and sentencers are able to make more informed decisions.</p><p> </p><p>Liaison and diversion services will be introduced in police custody suites and criminal courts across England and funding has been transferred to NHS England to commission a test model from April 2014 that will form the basis of the rollout of this national service.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of offenders starting supervision under Community Orders with mental health treatment requirements attached, in each probation trust in England and Wales, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and January to September 2013.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the use of children in armed conflict in the Central African Republic, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; which parties in those countries they consider to be using child soldiers; and what action they are taking to co-ordinate international action to secure the demobilisation of child soldiers.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL6713
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2014 answer text The British Government recognises that parties to conflict who commit grave violations against children, including recruitment and use, are named in the annexes of the annual reports of the UN Secretary-General on children and armed conflict. This applies to the Central African Republic, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Of the five countries in question, the Governments of Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo are currently listed for the recruitment and use of children. The latter two have signed action plans with the UN to end this practice. There are also non-state armed groups listed for recruitment and use of children in all the countries in question, except South Sudan. The UK actively participates in the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict to hold perpetrators to account as well as working with the UN Secretary General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and non-governmental organisations to urge those Governments who have not already done so, to enter into time-bound action plans with the UN. The Minister for Africa, my hon. Friend the Member for Boston and Skegness (Mr Simmonds), is leading a campaign to raise awareness and help prevent the recruitment of child soldiers and children from becoming victims of sexual violence. He continues to raise the issue with a number of counterparts in countries where there are reports of children being recruited into armed groups and forces, including in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 25/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
