answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2018 answer text <p>95% of individuals liable for removal at any one time are managed within the community through immigration bail and regular reporting, rather than within an immigration removal centre. Alternatives to detention are not, of course, alternatives to case resolution, and our objective is to achieve better outcomes for migrants, meaning quicker resolution of their case whether the result is a grant of leave or the migrant’s departure (preferably voluntary) from the UK.</p><p>The Home Secretary said - in his statement to parliament on 24 July introducing Stephen Shaw’s follow up report on immigration detention - that he had asked the Home Office to do more to explore alternatives to detention with faith groups, with non-governmental organisations and within communities. Working with UNHCR, a pilot scheme is being developed that will manage a number of women in the community who would otherwise be detained at Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre, meaning that rather than receiving support and care in an immigration removal centre, the women in question will get a programme of support and care in the community.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 07/12/2018 11:26:36 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) does not solely target unaccompanied children, but on UNHCR’s advice also extends to vulnerable ‘children at risk’, such as those threatened with child labour, child marriage and other forms of abuse or exploitation. It is open to all at risk groups and nationalities within the region. There is therefore no specific quota on the number of unaccompanied children who may be referred to, or resettled through, the scheme.</p><p>The latest quarterly Immigration Statistics show that, as of September 2018, a total of 1,075 people had been resettled through the VCRS. The statistics are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release</a>.</p><p>The Home Office is committed to publishing data in an orderly way as part of the regular quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 03/12/2018 17:23:36 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government published a Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy on 8 March 2016 setting out an ambitious programme to make tackling VAWG everybody’s business, ensure victims and survivors get the support they need and inspire confidence in the Criminal Justice System to bring more perpetrators to justice as well as doing more to rehabilitate offenders.</p><p>Over this spending review period, we are providing £100m of dedicated funding to tackle VAWG. VAWG services are mainly commissioned at a local level by PCCs, local authorities and health commissioners. The Government’s VAWG National Statement of Expectations encourages service provision decisions to be taken, by commissioners, at a local level and driven by local need.</p><p>We have allocated £17 million of funding to establish the 3-year VAWG Service Transformation Fund, which is supporting projects across 41 areas in England and Wales to support, promote and embed the best local practice and drive major change across all services so that early intervention and prevention, not crisis response, is the norm.</p><p>Liverpool City Council is being supported by the VAWG Transformation Fund to deliver the ‘Liverpool Early Help for Victims of VAWG’ project. We have awarded over £400,000 to support the Council to deliver a complex needs perpetrator programme, ‘Inner Strength’, and create Early Help Hubs to improve the multi-agency response to victims of domestic abuse.</p><p>The Home Office also supports the national VAWG Helplines and recently committed funding of up to £1.1m per annum for these services until 2021. The Helplines provide essential advice and support to victims of violence and abuse; advice to friends and family who are worried about someone; guidance to those wishing to stop perpetrating abuse; as well as assisting professionals seeking specialist support for victims.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 03/12/2018 17:26:00 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
