DCMS bursaries have fully-funded hundreds of individuals to gain youth work qualifications who otherwise may have been excluded due to cost. Over the past two years we have worked with the National Youth Agency to help more than 900 youth workers gain qualifications and institute a new youth work apprenticeship.</p><p>In addition, through the Volunteering Futures Fund, £7 million will be made available to improve the accessibility of volunteering in the youth sector, as well as the arts, culture, sports, civil society, and heritage sectors. The fund will help a diverse range of people to access the benefits volunteering can bring. There will be a strong focus on young people, those experiencing loneliness, those with disabilities and those from ethnic minority backgrounds.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston grouped question UIN 88788 88792 question first answered 14/12/2021 09:35:52 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2021 answer text <p>(a) DCMS currently has no plans to move civil servant jobs in the department to York.</p><p>(b) DCMS currently has no plans to move further jobs in its non-departmental public bodies and government agencies to York. However, Historic England currently has 80 employees working out of its office in York and under its current recruitment policy it can consider any of its regional offices for most roles when it recruits. Historic England therefore expects its number of employees in York to increase by 2025.</p><p>As part of Budget 2020, the government committed to relocating 22,000 Civil Service roles from Greater London to locations across the UK, including York, with the Places for Growth Portfolio delivering on this commitment.</p><p>We will decide on our locations taking into account a range of factors including our operating models, workforce and location analysis. We will select places that we judge to have the skills, transport links and capacity to meet our needs and flourish in our chosen locations, as well as ensuring locations are suitable for the long term success and sustainability of the Civil Service.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 01/12/2021 11:13:52 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government considers that a public health approach is a key part of gambling regulation. Gambling legislation and the requirements placed on operators by the independent regulator, the Gambling Commission, are intended to offer a wide range of protections: from those which make gambling safer for the population as a whole, such as controls on gambling products, to tailored protections for groups such as children and specific targeted interventions and support for those at most risk of harm.</p><p>Our Review of the Gambling Act aims to ensure that the protections in place to prevent harm are appropriate and effective for the digital age. Public Health England’s recent evidence review of gambling-related harms is a valuable contribution and we are considering it carefully.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/11/2021 14:01:24 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
