The threat posed by ISIL, both to the Middle East and to the rest of the world, is severe. ISIL does not recognise national boundaries, colour or creed. We are aware of the activity of ISIL sympathisers in the Maldives, and we will continue to engage with the Maldives government about the promotion of religious freedom and moderation. We will continue to monitor the threat from ISIL and to work closely with a wide range of international partners, including Iraq and Syria\u2019s neighbours. The UK continues to play a leading role in the comprehensive coalition effort to degrade and defeat ISIL \u2013 military action is a necessary part of that effort, but ultimately the solution to ISIL is a political one.<\/p>"}

The Government's vision is that every child who can walk or cycle to school should do so. In 2006/07 the Bikeability cycle training programme was launched, and over 1 million young people have been trained to the National Standard. We published a draft Cycling Delivery Plan on 16 October 2014, which provides an opportunity to receive views on the future funding of Bikeability. The Government will consider responses to our informal consultation and publish our final plan in late autumn.<\/p>

Schools are legally required to secure independent careers guidance for 12- to 18-year-olds that includes information on the full range of education and training options, including apprenticeships.<\/p>
In 2013, Ofsted\u2019s study of the early implementation of this duty found that apprenticeships were rarely promoted effectively, especially in schools with sixth forms.<\/p>
The Government has published new statutory guidance and departmental advice on careers guidance and inspiration, informed by the Ofsted study, which is effective from September 2014. This provides a clear framework and practical support for schools to help them inspire their pupils about the options open to them. The guidance is clear that schools should give employers and other providers delivering apprenticeships the opportunity to inform pupils directly about what they offer. It emphasises that apprenticeships and university offer two equally effective routes to a successful career.<\/p>
Ofsted is now giving careers guidance a higher priority in school inspections and we will work with them to monitor carefully the impact of the statutory guidance and the wider improvements that the Government has put in place.<\/p>"}

Police.uk currently allows the public to view detailed information about crime, anti-social behaviour and justice outcomes in their local area, displayed on
street-level crime maps. The Government\u2019s stop and search reforms will improve the transparency and accountability of the use of stop and search powers by extending mapping on Police.uk to include stop and search data.
Ahead of national roll-out to all 43 forces, the West Mercia trial will test the use of Police.uk to publish stop and search information to the public and
encourage user feedback. This will help address any technical issues and allow lessons to be learned on how transparent information on stop and search mapping should be presented. My officials and West Mercia Police will work closely with the Information Commissioner's Office, community groups and Force Independent Advisory Groups to do this.<\/p>

The Concordat sets out the roles of criminal justice and health agencies in dealing with people with mental health needs. The Department of Health, supported by the Home Office and Mind, is encouraging local areas to sign up to the principles of the Concordat, with the expectation that all areas in England will have signed local declarations by December 2014.
The Home Office is taking a range of action with partners across Government to improve the way people with mental health issues are supported when they come into contact with the police. We have set up street triage and liaison and diversion schemes so police officers can work alongside mental health nurses on patrol and in police stations. Also, the Home Office and Department of Health are reviewing sections 135 and 136 of the Mental Health Act to ensure people with mental health problems are not unnecessarily held in police custody.
The Home Secretary will be hosting a Policing and Mental Health Summit on 23 October. The event, jointly led with Black Mental Health UK, will focus on
police interaction with those with mental health problems.<\/p>
