star this property answer text <p>We have a longstanding relationship with the Prison Advice and Care Trust (PACT), and we recognise the crucial role that they, and other Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations, carry out in supporting offenders and delivering rehabilitative services.

star this property answer text <p>Earlier this year, we announced a programme of research and pilots across the country to investigate how to provide a balanced enrichment programme, combining engaging activities with healthy and nutritious meals, for the most disadvantaged school-age pupils.</p><p>Organisations were invited to bid for a share of up to £2 million. Seven of them were successful in securing funding to explore ways of supporting children from disadvantaged families to access free enrichment activities and healthy food during the school holidays.</p><p>The seven organisations that received funding for 2018 will report to the department on the impact of their work as well as on the number of disadvantaged children and families that have benefitted. The data and information collected during the summer will be used to shape our plans for 2019, which we will set out later in autumn 2018.</p> more like this

star this property answer text In March this year, the Government announced its intention to commence Section 36 of the Equality Act 2010 in its response to the Women and Equalities Select Committee report on disability and the built environment. The announcement made clear that further work on identifying and assessing any additional burdens on local authorities is first required before a commencement date can be given. We hope to make an announcement on timing of commencement of Section 36 of the Equality Act 2010 as soon as possible. more like this
