answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The issues surrounding serious violence, anti-social behaviour and absence and exclusion from school are complex, which is why we are working with the education and care sectors, the Home Office and other Departments as part of a comprehensive, multi-agency response.</p><p> </p><p>The externally led review of exclusions, led by Edward Timpson CBE, which is exploring how head teachers use exclusion in practice and difference in exclusion rates across England, will report shortly. Whilst exclusion is a marker for increased risk of being both a victim and perpetrator of crime, care must be taken not to draw a simple causal link between exclusions and knife crime as there is no clear evidence that this is the case. Therefore, whilst preventing knife crime requires a wider response than just exclusions, the report will help build the Department’s understanding of the use and impact of exclusion.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital that young people who have been excluded from school are safe and receive high-quality education and support to get them back on track. The Department knows there are many remarkable Alternative Provision (AP) settings where committed staff work together to ensure high-quality outcomes for their pupils. The Government is determined to ensure this best practice informs the reform of AP, which is why independent research was commissioned last year to better understand how AP works, and what works well.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/05/2019 13:53:19 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	247749
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to ringfence funding for statutory youth workers and services. Providing councils with the freedom to use funds in a way that responds to local needs and priorities and avoiding the ringfencing of specific funds, is key to ensuring financial sustainability and sound financial management on the part of authorities themselves.</p><p>The 2019-20 settlement confirmed that Core Spending Power is forecast to increase from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20. This is a cash-increase of 2.8 per cent and a real-terms increase in resources available to local authorities. This recognises both the growing pressure on local government’s services and higher-than-expected inflation levels.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 01/05/2019 14:57:56 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>The Home Secretary and Ministers regularly meet families, victims and a range of other stakeholders to discuss issues around knife crime and serious violence. Tackling serious violence is a top priority for the Government and it is clear we must continue to step up the response to stop this violence. The Serious Violence Strategy sets out the Government’s approach, which depends on a multi-agency ‘public health’ approach across several sectors and stresses the importance of early intervention to tackle the root causes. We have also taken a number of steps towards introducing a multi-agency ‘public health’ approach to knife crime and serious violence.</p><p>On 1 April we launched a public consultation on a new legal duty to support a ‘public health’ multi-agency approach to preventing and tackling serious violence. This statutory duty would make serious violence a top priority for all key partners, ensuring that they are working together to prevent young people being caught in the criminal cycle. The consultation, which closes on 28 May, can be found on the Gov.UK website at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departments%5B%5D=home-office&amp;publication_filter_option=consultations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departments%5B%5D=home-office&amp;publication_filter_option=consultations</a></p><p>On 13 March the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a further £100 million funding in 2019/20 to help in the police’s immediate response to the rise in serious knife crime, enabling priority forces to immediately begin planning to put in place the additional capacity they need. £35m of this Serious Violence Fund will support the setting up of Violence Reduction Units (VRUs) in areas most affected by knife crime. The VRUs will be similar to the Glasgow model, bringing together a range of agencies including health, education, social services and others, to develop a multi-agency approach in preventing serious violence altogether.</p><p>In October 2018 the Home Secretary announced a ten-year £200m Youth Endowment Fund, focused on targeted early intervention with those children and young people most vulnerable to involvement in serious violence. This will form an important part of the multi-agency, public health; approach to serious violence.</p><p>On 1 to 4 April 2019 the Prime Minister hosted a Serious Youth Violence Summit at 10 Downing Street, with the support of the Home Secretary and Secretaries of State. The central aim of the summit was to ensure a shared understanding and commitment to a multi-agency, ‘public health’ approach to tackling knife crime and serious violence more generally. An outcome of the Summit is the creation of a new Ministerial Taskforce, chaired by the Prime Minister, to drive cross-government action. This will be supported by a new, dedicated, serious violence team in the Cabinet Office to support cross-departmental coordination.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 03/05/2019 11:38:35 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
