answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2024 answer text <p>There is growing evidence to show that when salary information is not transparent, it has an impact on how people, particularly women and those from ethnic minorities, negotiate pay. This can ultimately result in lower starting salaries and smaller pay rises. In light of this, we have considered the merits of making this a requirement.</p><p> </p><p>However, we appreciate that some employers may find it challenging to be fully transparent about pay, and for many organisations, moving immediately to a system of full pay transparency would require a period of adjustment. We therefore do not believe that introducing a legal requirement to disclose this information is the right course of action.</p><p> </p><p>However, in order to encourage and assist employers in voluntarily adopting this, we are considering what further support employers may need. In addition, our pay transparency pilot will provide insights on the impact it can have.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 01/02/2024 14:42:00 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2024 answer text <p>We recognise that children in care are more likely than their peers in the general population to have contact with the criminal justice system. That is why we published a joint national protocol with the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) in 2018 on reducing the unnecessary criminalisation of looked after children and care leavers: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-protocol-on-reducing-criminalisation-of-looked-after-children" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-protocol-on-reducing-criminalisation-of-looked-after-children</a>. The protocol was produced with the input of local authority representatives, and other partners. Since the publication of the protocol, the proportion of children in care aged 10-17 who are charged with an offence or receive a caution has reduced from 3% in 2019 to 2% in 2023. Latest data for year ending March 2023 also show that 3% of care leavers age 19-21 were in custody. This figure has remained the same for the last 5 years.</p><p>We are also taking action on risk factors that can lead to criminal behaviour including through our work to improve school attendance.</p><p>Through the care leaver Ministerial Board, we are working closely with MoJ to improve support and outcomes of care-experienced people in the criminal justice system.</p><p>The MoJ is currently updating its strategy for people with care experience in the criminal justice system, to ensure that their time in the criminal justice system is used to support them to lead crime-free lives. The strategy will include a focus on race and its role in shaping the experiences and outcomes of those with care experience, and will link to wider departmental efforts to address racial disproportionality in the criminal justice system. The MoJ are aiming to publish this strategy in 2024.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed David Johnston question first answered 15/01/2024 17:02:41 answering member 4761 label Biography information for David Johnston
