https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2016-to-2017<\/a>.<\/p>Information on the number of missing incidents of looked after children by provider and the distance from the placing authority are provided in the attached table. In 2016/17, missing incidents were reported for 10,700 children, some of whom will have multiple missing incidents.<\/p>
This information was collected for the first time in 2014-15 and so figures for earlier years are not available.<\/p>
These statistics are experimental statistics based on data collected for the first time in 2015 and should be treated with caution as local councils\u2019 recording of this information is improving over time. The figures are therefore not comparable between years and any assessment of trends should take this into account. The information provided does not mean that the number of children going missing is increasing in the volumes indicated in the table.<\/p>
Local councils have improved their reporting of missing incidents through increased collaboration with partner organisations and carers, updated recording systems, and further training for carers to improve understanding of reporting processes.<\/p>"}

The Extractive Industries Policy of the National Investing Bodies of the Church of England was launched in November 2017. During the development of the policy, we sought views from both faith and non-faith organisations. Since the policy launch, the Church Commissioners have discussed our new approach with various faith and non-faith organisations and are due to present the policy to the Church Investors Group in the coming months.<\/p>
A number of the areas of the policy require engagement with extractive industry companies. Our approach has been to seek input and collaboration with other faith investors. We have also shared the policy and outlined approach widely within different faith networks. The Commissioners will continue to seek opportunities to work collaboratively with faith and non-faith investors on this issue of particular ethical importance.<\/p>"}

People with severe disfigurements are treated as having a disability for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 and therefore benefit from the same protections from discrimination as any other person with a disability. These protections span a number of situations and circumstances including the provision of goods and services and employment.<\/p>
<\/p>
As with other aspects of civil law it is for those who feel that they have been discriminated against to personally seek advice or redress by bringing the case to court.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) also has a monitoring and enforcement role in relation to the Equality Act 2010. If the EHRC suspects someone of committing a breach of the discrimination provisions, it can conduct an investigation and take action to ensure they avoid a continuation or repetition of that breach.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the Equality Advisory and Support Service provides free advice and support to individuals with any discrimination concerns, whether these relate to physical or mental health conditions.<\/p>"}
