	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2025 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of Fire and Rescue Authorities to ensure that firefighters receive the appropriate equipment and training they need to safely respond to the wide range of incidents which they attend. The Government will continue to work closely with the National Fire Chiefs Council to ensure fire and rescue services have the resources they need to keep the public safe.</p><p> </p><p>The Fire Standards Board is chaired independently of the Government and oversees the identification, development and maintenance of fire standards for fire and rescue services in England.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has accepted in principle the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry’s recommendation to establish a college of fire and rescue. A necessary first step will be to consult on the most appropriate functions for a college – which could, as recommended by the Inquiry, include training provision and standards – and how it could best be structured and delivered. We expect to launch this consultation later in 2025. Implementing a new professional body for the fire and rescue sector would be a complex, long-term project requiring legislation and investment.</p> answering member constituency Nottingham North and Kimberley answering member printed Alex Norris question first answered 10/04/2025 14:10:30 answering member 4641 label Biography information for Alex Norris

Proceeding with this change would be on the basis that resources could be better spent on improving the quality and range of opportunities available to young people through the [Youth] guarantee, so they can sign up to work or training rather than long-term benefits.” Such a change could support the establishment of a distinct and active transition phase for young people, based on learning or earning for all.</p><p>We are consulting on the design options for a work, health and skills support package. The government will actively engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, including young people with health conditions and disabilities. This consultation is now open and will close on 30th June.</p> answering member constituency Birkenhead answering member printed Alison McGovern question first answered 10/04/2025 12:51:57 answering member 4083 label Biography information for Alison McGovern

	type	WrittenParliamentaryQuestion
	uin	44264
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/04/2025 answer text <p>Our Get Britain Working plan aims to reduce economic inactivity levels and take the first steps to delivering our long-term ambition to achieve an 80% employment rate. We want to ensure that everyone has the opportunities they need to achieve and thrive, to succeed and flourish. This includes unpaid carers, whereby many of whom are excluded from the labour market due to their caring responsibilities.</p><p> </p><p>Customers providing care for fewer than 35 hours a week receive personalised support through their Work Coach, and their work expectation is tailored to fit caring responsibilities. Support includes identifying skills gaps and referral to skills training, careers advice, job search support, volunteering opportunities and access to the Flexible Support Fund to aid job entry. Unemployed customers who require more intensive employment support can also be referred to the Restart programme.</p><p> </p><p>The weekly Carer’s Allowance earnings limit is now pegged to 16 hours work at National Living Wage (NLW) levels and in future it will increase when the NLW increases. The earnings limit increased to be £196 a week (net earnings) on 7 April 2025, compared to £151 in 2024/25. This is the largest ever increase in the earnings limit since Carer’s Allowance was introduced in 1976 and the highest percentage increase since 2001. This means carers who are receiving the NLW (and have not done overtime or received a bonus) will be able to work for 16 hours a week and still receive Carer's Allowance.</p><p> </p><p>DWP also provides information to help carers and potential unpaid carers make informed decisions about combining work and care through their <a href="https://jobhelp.campaign.gov.uk/ways-of-working-that-fit-around-you/combine-working-and-caring-for-someone/" target="_blank">JobHelp Care Choices Site</a>.</p> answering member constituency Birkenhead answering member printed Alison McGovern grouped question UIN 44265 question first answered 14/04/2025 14:45:14 answering member 4083 label Biography information for Alison McGovern
