answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2021 answer text <p>This Government is the first Government to set out our expectation that water companies must take steps to significantly reduce storm overflows. We have gone further and made that position law. The amount of sewage discharge by water companies into our rivers is not acceptable. We have made it crystal clear to water companies that they must up their game. If we do not start to see significant improvements, we will not hesitate to take action.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 09/12/2021 12:01:48 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2021 answer text <p>No such recent assessment has been made by Defra. Responsibility for water safety issues is spread across a variety of other Government departments, public bodies (including the Environment Agency, Fire and Rescue Services, and local authorities) and non-governmental organisations (such as navigation authorities and the National Water Safety Forum) to improve safety in and around our rivers and other water bodies, and to ensure people have the knowledge they need to keep themselves safe. For example, the Environment Agency has published <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fstaying-safe-around-water&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C9e9584c518ac44dc314e08d9bf44ec2f%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C637751124999423122%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=hwd1HcQsocylIKTjcOqtRIKr9xa97TjIv1g8NPhYCEQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">guidance</a> on water safety and raises awareness through <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fnews%2Fstay-safe-around-rivers&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C9e9584c518ac44dc314e08d9bf44ec2f%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C637751124999433087%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=KZVR7A%2BAtRndBw5JsbBFGWBWkgvcqN5vod4lKwqO4NA%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">press releases</a>, and the Department for Education includes development of <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F239040%2FPRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_Physical_education.pdf&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C9e9584c518ac44dc314e08d9bf44ec2f%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C637751124999433087%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=tMabLzYn5N4%2F39KaUu3jK42PSrNPSZ0chdvzCZJ5aDM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">swimming skills</a> for pupils in Key Stages 1 and 2, which contributes to wider water safety.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 15/12/2021 10:06:49 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to do everything in its power to deliver improvements within policing and across the criminal justice system to improve women and girl’s confidence in the police and ultimately keep people safe. This includes the establishment of the Angiolini Inquiry which will shine a light on the failings that allowed a serving police officer to abuse his power in such a horrific manner and make recommendations for change within policing.</p><p>We have published a new Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, which outlines our plans for a national communications campaign with a focus on targeting perpetrators and harmful misogynistic attitudes, educating young people about healthy relationships and ensuring victims can access support.</p><p>We are also funding a National Policing Lead for Violence Against Women and Girls – Maggie Blyth. The HMICFRS inspection into the police response to VAWG crimes has shown that radical reform is needed. The role will include working with police forces and the Government to make sure action is taken in response to the inspectorate’s findings.</p><p>The Government will also be looking carefully at strengthening the system of local community scrutiny and the value and use of body-worn video, because transparency is vital.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 16/12/2021 16:50:56 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
