answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2023 answer text <p>The Code of Practice for the International Recruitment of Health and Social Care Personnel in England guarantees stringent ethical standards when recruiting health and social care staff from overseas. The code aligns with the latest advice from the World Health Organization and prohibits active international recruitment from countries with the most pressing health workforce challenges, except where a Government-to-Government agreement is in place.</p><p>However, the Code is mindful of an individuals’ right to migrate and individuals from countries on this list can make direct applications for vacancies in the United Kingdom health and social care sectors, if they do so independently and of their own accord.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 27/06/2023 08:08:54 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 allows the court, upon conviction or acquittal, to make a restraining order for the purpose of protecting the victim from conduct that amounts to harassment or that will cause fear of violence.</p><p>The primary consideration of the court is that restraining orders remain necessary for the purpose of protecting the victim. When an application to vary a restraining order is made, the judiciary must consider the impact on the victim. Any application to vary must be shared with the victim to allow them to give their views before an order can be varied. All decisions on a variation are always communicated to the CPS, the police and the victim so that consideration can be made as to any additional protection that may be required. Departmental procedures require the police to receive notice within 30 minutes of an order being varied, so that they can take immediate steps if that is necessary.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 20/11/2018 16:42:52 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
