The UK is committed to supporting countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 6 target of universal access to water and sanitation by 2030. Since 2015, we have supported 40 million people to gain access to clean water and sanitation. This includes beneficiaries in Commonwealth countries in Africa and Asia such as Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Bangladesh and Pakistan.<\/p>
<\/p>
DFID has also supported Commonwealth countries in the Caribbean. For example, following Hurricane Maria DFID allocated £25 million to Dominica to repair and strengthen the water supply system across the island.<\/p>

DFID\u2019s bilateral programme in Sri Lanka country closed in 2006 when the country graduated to middle income status, and DFID does not have water and sanitation programmes in Sri Lanka.<\/p>"}

The Secretary of State attended the Ministerial Reoffending Board on 26th<\/sup> November, along with the Secretary of State for Justice. A range of issues were discussed, including improving access to employment for ex-offenders.<\/p> <\/p>
This Government recognises that supporting ex-offenders into work is a crucial part of effective rehabilitation. DWP officials work closely with their counterparts in MoJ to improve the outcomes for ex\u2013offenders. The DWP has dedicated Prison Work Coaches based in resettlement prisons across Great Britain, who work with prisoners, prison services, local partners and employers to help secure training, work experience and employment opportunities. Ex-offenders are also entitled to tailored support from Jobcentre Work Coaches and early, priority access to the Work and Health Programme.<\/p>"}

This Government recognises that supporting ex-offenders into work is a crucial part of effective rehabilitation. That is why Ministry of Justice launched the Education and Employment strategy to create a system where each prisoner is set on a path to employment as soon as they enter prison.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is also why the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has dedicated Prison Work Coaches based in resettlement prisons across Great Britain, who work with prisoners, prison services, local partners and employers to help secure training, work experience and employment opportunities for prisoners at the start of their sentence, during their sentence and after release.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ex-offenders are also entitled to tailored support from Jobcentre Work Coaches and early, priority access to the Work and Health Programme, to ensure they receive more intensive employment support.<\/p>
<\/p>
DWP does not currently collate data to identify an ex-offender in a way that allows robust reporting. We are therefore committed to gathering better data to support claimants with complex needs and has prioritised this as part of the wider work programme for Universal Credit.<\/p>"}

We know that of those released in the 2011/12 tax year, a higher proportion of female offenders were claiming out-of-work benefits both before and after their caution/conviction or prison sentence, than male offenders.<\/p>
<\/p>
The proportion of women claiming out-of-work benefits in the month before receiving a conviction/caution or prison sentence was 53%, which increases by two percentage points to 55% one month after a conviction/caution or release from prison.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are aware of a number of barriers that prevent women from entering employment on release from prison and are working to address these issues.<\/p>
<\/p>
Last May, we published the Education and Employment strategy which aims to set each prisoner on a path to employment, with prison education and work geared towards employment on release from the outset.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our strategy includes a range of initiatives to support this ambition. For example, we are empowering governors to commission education provision that leads to work, we are encouraging employers to take on ex-prisoners via the New Futures Network (NFN) and we have consulted governors and employers on proposals to increase the opportunities available to prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces through ROTL.<\/p>"}

We do not hold the data as requested, but we do know that offenders who find employment on release from prison are less likely to reoffend than those who do not.<\/p>
<\/p>
Offenders who found P45 employment in the twelve months after release from prison had one year re-offending rates that were 6-9 percentage points lower than similar offenders who did not find employment.<\/p>
<\/p>
In order to improve employment opportunities for ex-offenders, we published the Education and Employment strategy last year to set each prisoner on a path to employment from the outset, thus increasing access to employment for ex-offenders.<\/p>"}

The remediation programme underway since the Grenfell Tower tragedy is dealing with Aluminium Composite Materials cladding systems which are unsafe. We expect building owners to be systematically reviewing the safety of their buildings as a matter of course. All buildings covered under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which include schools, hospitals, and residential care premises, must have their fire risk assessment regularly reviewed so as to keep it up to date.<\/p>
Schools are very safe environments in this regard as they are typically occupied during the daytime and have multiple exit routes. In addition, all schools must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, including having an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment and conducting regular fire drills.<\/p>
NHS trusts are locally responsible for their fire safety, and take it very seriously. Fire safety guidance specific to the NHS, Firecode, is provided to support them in doing this. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, NHS organisations must, as far as is reasonably practical, make sure that everyone on the premises, or nearby, can escape safely if there is a fire. They will therefore consider the ban on combustible cladding as part of the regular fire risk assessments they carry out on their existing estate<\/p>"}
