The Foreign and Commonwealth Office lead HMG policy on the Overseas Security and Justice Assistance (OSJA) Guidance. The Joint Funds Unit audit of CSSF OSJAs showed that the OSJA process was closely adhered to by programme teams. Although OSJAs are not required to be completed until after programme design is finalised, the audit found that many programme managers considered OSJA from earlier in the process, ensuring that human rights considerations were built into programmes from the initial stages.<\/p>

The audit found that a number of simple improvements, such as ensuring the audit trail of approvals is completed, would help improve the quality of OSJAs across the board and better reflect the level of analysis given to human rights risks.<\/p>

As stated in the answer to Question 280367, in response to the audit\u2019s recommendations the JFU is updating CSSF programmatic guidance and the Stabilisation Unit is updating its core security and justice training for HMG staff to align with the revised guidance.<\/p>

There are no plans to publish the OSJA audit or the recommendations in full.<\/p>

The Government will be guided by the Office for National Statistics\u2019 (ONS) recommendations, to Government and Parliament, regarding the demand for particular questions in the next census.<\/p>

These recommendations were published in the White Paper \u2018Help Shape our Future: The 2021 Census of Population and Housing in England and Wales\u2019 in December 2018 (Cm 9745).<\/p>

Under the ONS proposals, everyone who wishes to identify as being of the Jain religion in the 2021 Census will be able to do so using the write-in option and the new online search-as-you-type facility.<\/p>

The ONS will work with local groups and organisations to ensure anyone who wishes to identify as Jain knows that they can use these options to do so. The ONS has been in discussions with the Institute of Jainology (IoJ) about how best to reach and work with Jain communities, as well as working with local authorities to identify areas with Jain communities.<\/p>

All civil servants and special advisers who are subject to National Security Vetting are asked the following three questions as part of the clearance process:<\/p>

\u201cHave you ever been involved in actions intended to overthrow or undermine Parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHave you ever been a member of, or supported, a group or groups involved in any of the above activities?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHave you ever had a close association with anyone, including a member of your family, who, to your knowledge, has been a member of or given active support to any such group or activities?\u201d<\/p>

National Security Vetting is a prerequisite for employment in a large subset of Civil Service roles, including sensitive posts and special advisers. For less sensitive roles that do not require vetting, these assurances are not asked of prospective candidates.<\/p>
