answer text <p>My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence the Member for Sevenoaks (Michael Fallon) laid a Written Ministerial Statement on 9 September 2014 (Official Report, column 33WS) on the gifting of military equipment to the Government of Iraq, including the Kurdish Regional Government. The UK is also facilitating the transport of weapons and ammunition from allied countries. The Department has no plans at present to expand military assistance beyond this, but work is ongoing with partner nations, the Government of Iraq and the Ministry of Peshmerga to identify Kurdish requirements and the best way of meeting them.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department of Health published a report earlier this year that sets out the key actions that local areas can take to prevent suicides. This is published online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/suicide-prevention-report" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/suicide-prevention-report</a></p><p>It emphasises that schools, social care and the youth justice system, as well as charities that focus on problems such as bullying, poor body image and lack of self-esteem, all have an important contribution in preventing suicide.</p><p>The Government has sent a clear message to schools that all forms of bullying, for whatever reason, are absolutely unacceptable and should not be tolerated in our schools.</p><p>The Department for Education issued guidance in 2011 for maintained and independent schools on preventing and tackling all forms of bullying, which is published online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying</a></p><p>Earlier this year, we issued updated advice on sanctions to manage poor behaviour, which includes bullying. This advice is available online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/behaviour-and-discipline-in-schools" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/behaviour-and-discipline-in-schools</a></p><p>The Department has also issued a leaflet about bullying, which outlines the responsibilities that schools have in making appropriate provision for a bullied child’s social, emotional and mental health needs. This leaflet is available online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying</a>.</p><p>Case studies on how good schools manage bullying have been published online, and can be viewed at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/managing-behaviour-and-bullying-in-schools-case-studies" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/managing-behaviour-and-bullying-in-schools-case-studies</a></p><p>In June 2014, the Department issued advice on Behaviour and Mental Health to help teachers differentiate between pupils that are simply behaving badly and other behaviour – whether it is disruptive, withdrawn, anxious, depressed or otherwise – that may be related to an unmet mental health need. This advice also outlines to teachers how they can support their pupils who may have a mental health need.

answer text <p> </p><p>Defra provided start-up funding to catchment partnership hosts of £1.6 million in the 2013/14 financial year and a further £2.2 million in 2014/15. Some of this funding was allocated to a national support group of representatives from the organisations that are hosting catchment partnerships to develop further guidance and support tools. This has included developing a ‘knowledge hub’ to help hosts share existing good practice around securing external funding. Defra continues to support this process through our ongoing evaluation of the catchment based approach to help guide partnerships further. The evaluation will also help to establish whether becoming fully self-sustaining partnerships remains a viable ambition. Catchment partnerships are able to draw in funding through other sectors and organisations. No decision has yet been made about future Defra funding for catchment partnerships.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In parallel, Defra continues to encourage water companies to play an active role in catchment partnerships. In our Strategic Policy Steer to OFWAT, we stipulated that it should provide a regulatory framework which enables water companies to consider funding catchment schemes where they are more cost effective than end-of-pipe treatment solutions. Defra’s ongoing evaluation shows that water companies are working closely with all catchment partnerships. As a result, we anticipate that there will be more catchment investment in water companies’ future business plans under the current Price Review process.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government recognises the contribution that people of faith can make to their own local communities and to wider society. Freedom of religious observance for all citizens is a fundamental principle of a free society and people draw on a range of sources to define and express their identity. The Government has no overarching role in regulating personal belief or faith. There are already several international days of prayer, i.e. All Saints Day and Women’s World Day of Prayer.</p><p> </p><p>As well as these, faith leaders regularly come together to pray for specific issues. Recently, Lord Ahmad took part in a prayer vigil at Westminster Cathedral for Iraq with leading members of faith communities from around the country.</p> more like this
