	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2024 answer text <p>Tacking cyber crime is at the heart of the Government’s National Cyber Strategy 2022-25, which is supported by £2.6 billion of investment through the National Cyber Fund.</p><p>Key to delivery is ensuring that local policing has the resources needed to deal with the cyber threats we face. In 2023/24, the Home Office is receiving £18 million from the National Cyber Fund to provide a range of capabilities and resource to tackle and respond to cyber crime. This funding is supplemented by a further £16 million of Home Office funding through the Police Settlement Programme.</p><p>This funding continues to build law enforcement capabilities at the national, regional, and local levels to ensure they have the capacity and expertise to deal with the perpetrators and victims of cyber crime. We directly fund a specialist Cyber Crime Unit at South Wales Police, and more specialist teams at the TARIAN Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU). This ROCU team is integral to our response to high-harm, high-impact crimes like cyber extortion, and is a multi-disciplinary team of police officers and police staff seconded from the three forces of South Wales, Gwent and Dyfed-Powys.</p><p>TARIAN ROCU works closely with South Wales Police Cyber Crime Unit and work to intervene if people are deemed at risk of becoming involved in cyber offending. This includes working with young and vulnerable individuals offering other intervention and diversion opportunities to young people outside of cyber education, such as life skills, and job interview skills. South Wales Police Cyber Crime Unit engage with all local authorities within the area to ensure effective delivery.</p><p>Businesses and organisations based in Wales work closely with ROCUs across the private and public sectors, and at community level. Additionally working collaboratively with the Welsh Government to support the offer of funding to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) for Cyber Essential training, which is a government backed scheme that helps protect organisations against a range of cyber attacks.</p><p>We have also rolled out Regional Cyber Resilience Centres in Wales and in each of the other nine policing regions. The Centres are a collaboration between the police, public, private sector and academic partners to provide cyber security advice to SME’s so that they can protect themselves better in a digital age. Details of the Cyber Resilience Centre for Wales can be found at <a href="http://www.wcrcentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.wcrcentre.co.uk</a></p><p>All vulnerable victims of fraud and cyber crime in Wales receive contact and PROTECT advice from law enforcement, specifically aimed at helping them to protect themselves in future from revictimization.</p> answering member constituency Tonbridge and Malling answering member printed Tom Tugendhat question first answered 27/02/2024 16:27:43 answering member 4462 label Biography information for Tom Tugendhat

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government is clear that all forms of hate crime are completely unacceptable. We have a robust legislative framework in place to respond to hate crimes which target race, religion, disability, sexual orientation and transgender identity, and expect the police to fully investigate these appalling offences and work with the Crown Prosecution Service to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice.</p><p>Our absolute priority is to get more police onto our streets, cut crime, protect the public and bring more criminals to justice. We are supporting the police by providing them with the resources they need. Part of this necessitates police recruitment and training - there are now over 149,000 officers England and Wales, which is higher than the previous peak in March 2010 before the Police Uplift Programme. As of 30 September 2023, there were 3,535 police officers in South Wales, a total growth of 540 additional officers against the adjusted baseline (2,995) at the start of the Police Uplift Programme (PUP) in March 2019. Wales now has 8,108 officers, a total growth of 1,143 additional officers since the start of the PUP. In addition, funding for South Wales Police will be up to £399.9 million in 2024/25, an increase of up to £24.4 million when compared to 2023/24. Funding for Wales will be up to £936.4 million in 2024/25, an increase of up to £56.0 million when compared to 2023/24.</p><p>The Government continues to fund True Vision, an online hate crime reporting portal designed so that victims of all forms of hate crime do not have to visit a police station to report. We also fund the National Online Hate Crime Hub, a central capability designed to provide expert advice to support individual local police forces in dealing with online hate crime.</p> answering member constituency Newbury answering member printed Laura Farris question first answered 23/02/2024 14:43:01 answering member 4826 label Biography information for Laura Farris
