answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2021 answer text <p>Since the start of 2018, the Gambling Commission has been notified of and investigated reports of eight deaths by suicide where gambling may have been a factor. Seven of these cases were reported to it by the operator and one by family members. Operators who are aware of a death by suicide which may be linked to their gambling facilities are expected to notify the Commission so that the Commission can investigate whether there has been a breach of social responsibility codes and licence conditions and whether enforcement action is appropriate. It does not publish the names of operators which have reported information about deaths, but details of its findings following concluded enforcement action are published on its website.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 14/12/2021 09:39:24 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2021 answer text <p>To support the youth workforce, DCMS funds the National Youth Agency to set professional standards, qualifications and a curriculum for youth work, including a new youth work apprenticeship and free-to-access training. 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 88787 88788 question first answered 14/12/2021 09:35:53 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
