There are already laws and regulations in place to protect animals used by buskers. Dogs often act as companions for vulnerable members of the homeless community, aiding their rehabilitation to overcome many mental health issues.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, there is an important distinction between these companion animals and dogs being exploited for money. Support and protection for these animals is further provided by charities including Dogs on the Streets, county borough animal warden services, busking regulators and city inspectors.<\/p>
<\/p>
Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, local authorities and the police have the power to seize animals that they suspect have been subjected to mistreatment. It is also an offence under the Act to cause any unnecessary suffering to an animal or fail to provide for its welfare.<\/p>
If anyone has concerns about the welfare of a particular animal, the Government encourages them to contact the RSPCA or the relevant local authority who can investigate the matter further.<\/p>

The Department measures the proportion of households in owner occupation in the English Housing Survey.<\/p>
The proportion of owner occupiers in each year since 2015 can be found in Annex Table 1.1 of the English Housing Survey Headline Report 1018-19. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-housing-survey-2018-to-2019-headline-report<\/a>.<\/p> After more than a decade of decline, the proportion of 25-34 year olds in owner occupation has increased and there are now almost equal proportions of 25-34 year olds living in the private rented and owner occupied sectors<\/p> The history curriculum gives teachers and schools the freedom and flexibility to use specific examples from history to teach pupils about the history of Britain and the wider world. Schools and teachers can determine which examples and resources to use to stimulate and challenge pupils, and reflect key points in history.<\/p> There are opportunities within the themes and eras of the history curriculum for teachers and schools to teach about the Overseas Territories at Key Stages 1-2. At Key Stage 1, pupils should be taught about changes within living memory and events beyond living memory that are significant nationally or globally. At Key Stage 2, the curriculum requires pupils to be taught about aspects or themes in British history that extends pupils\u2019 chronological knowledge beyond 1066.<\/p>"}
