answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2017 answer text <p>Government’s sport strategy ‘Sporting Future’, published in December 2015, noted that just 5.5% of elite coaches were from Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, demonstrating that high performance coaching was not drawing its talent from the widest pool available. It commissioned UK Sport to review what steps could be taken to remove barriers to minority groups (and women) progressing into high performance coaching roles with a view to diversifying the talent pool and ultimately improving overall performance.</p><p> </p><p>UK Sport has since put a number of activities and processes in place to help increase the number of high quality opportunities for BAME coaches. For example their Elite Coaching Team works with role models to encourage other coaches to apply for relevant roles, and they work with Sporting Equals on data relating to BAME people, which forms part of the Sporting Equals' Leaderboard National Steering Group. One of the aims of this group is to develop and share toolkits that sports can use to help diversify their recruitment, and in particular recruit more BAME staff. UK Sport also use results from the sport-wide Culture Health Check to analyse emerging trends around equality and diversity issues, and they work closely with the Sports Councils’ Equity Group with Home Country Sports Councils to develop consistent approaches to equality and opportunities with national governing bodies.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 13/12/2017 10:11:36 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of whether the gambling industry has invested 0.1 per cent of gross gaming yield in supporting those who suffer from gambling-related harm in the last year.
tabling member constituency	Cardiff Central
tabling member printed	Jo Stevens
uin	115636
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>In its Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice the Gambling Commission requires all operators licensed under the Gambling Act 2005 to make a contribution towards the research, prevention and treatment of gambling-related harm. The Commission does not specify how much this should be nor which organisation should receive it, although it highlights that GambleAware is the principal funding body for RET (research, education, treatment). The gross gambling yield for those operators in 2016/17 was £10.7bn, and they collectively contributed over £8m to GambleAware. In addition, the industry also made donations directly to charities providing support for those suffering from gambling related harm, and funded other initiatives such as Senet’s ‘When The Fun Stops Stop’ campaign. In 2016/17 Senet funding was £1.7m.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2017 the Gambling Commission’s expert advisers, the Responsible Gambling Strategy Board (RGSB) estimated that £9.3m, excluding GambleAware costs, would be required in 2017/18 to support the strategic priorities for RET that it had identified. The consultation on proposals for changes to Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility, published on 31 October, makes clear that government expects the gambling industry to increase funding to meet the targets for future years identified in the RGSB and GambleAware strategies.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 04/12/2017 16:40:46 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
