Fire and rescue authorities have responsibility for enforcing compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies to non-domestic premises, including the parts of multi-occupied residential buildings used in common by the occupants of more than one dwelling. The Fire and Rescue National Framework for England requires each authority to have a risk-based inspection programme in place to ensure compliance with the Fire Safety Order in its area.<\/p>
Her Majesty\u2019s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) will, as part of its inspection programme, include an assessment of how effective fire and rescue services in England are at protecting the public through the regulation of fire safety. One factor the Inspectorate will consider is the extent to which systematic, consistent and robust fire safety audits are undertaken. The first tranche of inspection reports, covering 14 fire and rescue services, is due to be published in December.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1561", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Nick Hurd"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-29T17:01:54.153Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Housing: Fire Prevention"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of residential fire inspection audits undertaken by local fire authorities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/172", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Diane Abbott"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hackney North and Stoke Newington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ms Diane Abbott"} ], "uin" : "194011"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011531", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011531/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
In February 2017 the Government published its \u2018Tackling Child Sexual Exploitation: Progress Report\u2019 and announced a £40m package of measures to tackle all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation, including organised child sexual exploitation. The Progress Report details delivery of the ambitious programme of work set out in the 2015 Tackling Child Sexual Exploitation Report and signals a step change in our national response to sexual violence against children and young people.<\/p>
We are helping the police to respond to changing demand and improving capacity and capability through the Police Transformation Fund and with a £460m increase in overall funding 2018/19.<\/p>
To support the police to tackle organised sex-trafficking and other forms of modern slavery, the Government has provided £8.5m of additional funding to the police in England and Wales to provide bespoke and dedicated modern slavery capabilities. This police activity is supported at a national level by the National Crime Agency who lead multiagency operations to target key thematic slavery and trafficking threats including organised sexual exploitation.<\/p>
In addition, on 3 September 2018, the Home Secretary made clear his personal commitment to tackling child sexual abuse and exploitation in all its forms, demanding industry raise their response to the horrifying scale of online child sexual abuse, and making clear there would be no \u2018no-go areas\u2019 of inquiry into the offline grooming, abuse and exploitation of children.<\/p>
The Home Secretary announced additional investment in law enforcement capabilities; funding for prevention work through Lucy Faithful Foundation; investment in new technology like the Child Abuse Image Database, and; plans to lead concerted international action.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-29T17:11:18.51Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Organised Crime: Exploitation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to tackle organised sexual exploitation.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/172", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Diane Abbott"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hackney North and Stoke Newington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ms Diane Abbott"} ], "uin" : "194013"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011535", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011535/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
