	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2024 answer text <p>There is a balance to be struck between protecting the wider public and their animals from dog attacks, the freedom people enjoy when walking their dogs, and the welfare of those dogs including the freedom to exhibit normal behaviours. We currently have no plans to legislate to compel dogs to be on leads in public places.</p><p> </p><p>The Code of Practice for the Welfare of Dogs already states that it is best practice to keep dogs on leads around other animals. It is also an offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988 to allow a dog to be on a designated road unless it is on a lead.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014, enforcement authorities have powers to make Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) insisting dogs are kept on leads in certain areas. Where a dog has been involved in anti-social behaviour, enforcement authorities can also issue community protection notices which could require a dog to be kept on a lead in public.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 22/03/2024 13:34:27 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2024 answer text <p>In January 2024, NHS England launched a national campaign to raise awareness of Op COURAGE, and encourage veterans struggling with their mental health to seek help from the service. The campaign, which runs until the end of March 2024, features veterans who have used Op COURAGE and includes a toolkit and a film featuring high-profile veteran JJ Chalmers. Phase two of the campaign activity includes increased social media, broadcasts, and regional press, particularly within areas of higher veteran populations.</p><p>The Government has not made any assessment of the effectiveness of the awareness campaign as Op COURAGE providers have shared anecdotal feedback that there has been a rise in referrals since the launch of this campaign.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 18644 question first answered 21/03/2024 11:19:37 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
