answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>Nobody should be subject to any use of police powers because of their race or ethnicity and extensive safeguards exist to ensure this does not happen. Her Majesty’s inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire &amp; Rescue Services (HMICFRS) inspect police forces’ compliance with the legislation and College of Police guidance through their programme of national thematic inspections. In addition, the Home Office fund the Independent Custody Visiting Association who co-ordinate independent custody visitors in making unannounced visits to police custody to check on the rights and wellbeing of detainees.</p><p>Any use of strip search should be carried out in accordance with the law and with full regard for the dignity and welfare of the individual being searched – particularly if the individual being searched is a child. If police judge it operationally necessary to strip search a child, they must do so in the presence of the child’s appropriate adult (unless both the child and appropriate adult consent to it being done in the absence of the appropriate adult) and in line with safeguarding procedures.</p><p>Children and young people are a protected group with specific vulnerabilities. Their treatment in detention is governed not only by domestic legislation but also by the <a href="http://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CRC.aspx" target="_blank">UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)</a> which the UK has signed and ratified. Everyone who works with children has a responsibility for keeping them safe. This means they have a role to play in identifying concerns about a child’s safety and wellbeing, sharing information and taking prompt action when it is needed to protect a child.</p><p>It is essential that the police and frontline professionals recognise vulnerability in children and young people, regardless of the circumstances around any interaction. To support this the Home Office have funded the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice programme, which shares the very best practice across forces. We also fund the College of Policing’s Public Protection and Safeguarding Leadership programme which ensures senior leaders in policing have a strong understanding of vulnerability.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 18/05/2022 12:17:32 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Historic England, government’s statutory advisor on historic environment, compiles an annual Heritage at Risk Register. This indicates what steps the Government is taking to protect sites from decay and neglect, including those in the guardianship of English Heritage.</p><p> </p><p>The 2019 Register, which was published on 17th October 2019, gives an annual snapshot of the critical condition of some of the country’s most important historic buildings, sites, monuments and places. In total there are 5,073 entries on the 2019 Register, 87 fewer than in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Throughout England, 310 sites have been removed from the Register because their future has been secured, often by community intervention and a partnership approach. Over the past year, Historic England has spent nearly £8.5m in grants on helping some of the country’s best loved and most important historic sites. This work continues, and we see many examples where bringing endangered historic sites and structures back to beneficial use has demonstrable economic and community benefits, and thus public value.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 22/10/2019 11:28:54 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
