We have moved – or are in the process of moving - over 6,000 people into homes since June 2021. There is a huge effort underway to support the families into permanent homes as soon as we can so they can settle and rebuild their lives, and to ensure those still temporarily accommodated in hotels are given the best start to their life in the UK.</p><p>The length of time a family will remain in bridging hotels is dependent on several factors including sufficient offers of appropriate housing by local authorities. We strive to allocate the right families into the right accommodation to ensure their integration into their new communities in the UK is as smooth as possible. To achieve this, we triage and prioritise families to ensure the settled accommodation provides the best possible match, taking into consideration date of arrival into the UK, family size, vulnerability and integration factors.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 23/05/2022 10:48:35 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster previous answer version 814 answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

This includes £7.5 million to fund the development of the National Police Wellbeing Service (NPWS), which was launched in April 2019.</p><p>The NPWS has developed evidence-based guidance, advice, tools and resources which can be accessed by forces, as well as individual officers and staff. This helps Chief Constables in their duty to ensure the wellbeing of all officers and staff, by signposting to relevant services and additional support.</p><p>However, we want to go further, and have therefore accelerated work to introduce a Police Covenant, to recognise the service and sacrifice of our brave police officers and staff and to deliver the urgent practical support they need. The key areas of focus will be physical protection, health and wellbeing and support for families. On 26 February, we launched a public consultation into the scope and principle of the Covenant. The consultation will run for 8 weeks, closing on 22 April, and will subsequently be put into law as part of the planned Police Powers and Protection Bill.</p><p>We have also committed to consult on doubling the maximum sentence for assaults on emergency workers and are working closely with the Ministry of Justice who are leading on this important work.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 24/03/2020 18:09:10 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
