The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains a central record of the number of defendants charged and prosecuted in cases where the offences involved disability hate crime.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The CPS defines disability hate crime as any incident which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards a person because of their disability or perceived disability.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The CPS began identifying and monitoring disability hate crime cases from 1st<\/sup> April 2007 following the publication of the Hate Crime Public Policy and Prosecution Guidance in February 2007.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> During each of the last seven years the numbers of defendants charged and prosecuted, in cases flagged as disability hate crime, is as follows:<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Total Prosecuted<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2007 - 08<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 183<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2008 - 09<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 393<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2009 - 10<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 638<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2010 - 11<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 726<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2011 - 12<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 621<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2012 - 13<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 640<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2013 - 14<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 574<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Data Source: CPS Management Information System<\/p> <\/p>"}

We are bound by the European Commission\u2019s state aid rules in this regard and cannot, therefore, simply use climate change agreements as the basis for eligibility for these schemes. We have issued a consultation on a proposed methodology and are currently analysing the results. We expect to publish a Government response to the consultation early in the New Year and final conclusions on which sectors will be eligible once we have state aid approval which we expect to receive by summer 2015.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The saw-milling sector was not included in the proposed eligibility list because, based on the data available, it does not pass the proposed UK sector-level test of requiring an electricity-intensity of at least 7%. Department for Business, Innovation and Skills officials are content to discuss this with the association further in the New Year.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> It is worth noting that the Government has already increased the discount on the Climate Change Levy on electricity to 90% for those sectors, like sawmilling, that are in receipt of a climate change agreement and that we are also capping the cost of the Carbon Price Floor at £18 per ton of CO2 \u2013 60% of the original 2020 target price \u2013 to reduce the indirect cost to industry.<\/p> <\/p>"}

This change consolidates and simplifies legislation relating to young carers\u2019 assessments, making rights and duties clearer to both young people and practitioners; extends the right to an assessment of needs for support to all young carers regardless of who they care for or what type of care they provide; and makes it clear to local authorities that they must carry out an assessment of a young carer\u2019s needs for support on request or on the appearance of need. These new duties come into effect in April 2015. The changes we have introduced apply to all children, including those aged sixteen to eighteen in further education.<\/p> <\/p> The Department recognises that we do not have reliable information about the numbers of young carers in England. This is why we have initiated a research project which, for the first time, will provide reliable information about the numbers and needs of young carers and their families.<\/p>"}
