This helps to ensure that if a claimant’s income changes, they do not have to wait several months for a corresponding change in their Universal Credit award.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 13/01/2020 15:10:53 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	uin	486
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2020 answer text <p>Ministers at the Ministry of Justice hold regular discussions with the President of the Family Division on a range of issues. The Government fully recognises that family proceedings should be as transparent as possible, and welcomes the progress that has been made towards greater openness together with the review on transparency that the President of the Family Division is currently undertaking. Accredited media have been allowed access to certain hearings in the family courts since 2009, and in 2014 the previous President of the Family Division issued guidance leading to the increased publication of judgments. A pilot allowing legal bloggers to report on family proceedings has been running since 2018, and the current President of the Family Division published new guidance on anonymising judgments for publication in 2018 and reporting in the family courts in 2019.</p><p>Greater transparency must be weighed against the need to safeguard children and their family’s privacy given the extremely sensitive information about them that the family courts often need to consider. The Government will continue to work with the senior judiciary to ensure that the right balance is struck between transparency and privacy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 14/01/2020 16:49:56 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>We are working to build the national picture of the nature and scale of child sexual exploitation by organised groups. Child sexual abuse and exploitation are under-reported crimes, which means it is challenging to develop accurate assessment of the number of victims. However, best estimations in-dicate that approximately 5-15% of children have experienced child sexual abuse in their lifetime.</p><p>We have introduced new requirements for the police to record information re-lating to these offences which, along with the establishment of a new na-tional Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse, will help us to build a more informed picture of the scale of these crimes and the best ways to tackle and prevent them in the future.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 05/02/2019 14:20:56 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
