answer text The list provided by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) included a broad range of different groups, numbering 85 in total. We are seeking further clarity from the Emiratis on their rationale for some of these designations, and any practical implications. Islamic Relief is not proscribed in the UK. The list of groups proscribed in the UK is available on the gov.uk website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/380939/ProscribedOrganisations.pdf more like this

VSO’s experience in international development and volunteering will ensure the Hub will be responsive to both programming needs of development partners and sustainability interests of corporate members. DFID will provide up to £3.4m over 5 years.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Under this Government more money than ever before is being raised from offenders specifically to help victims of crime. This is on top of a range measures introduced since 2010 to ensure victims improve their experience of the CJS. Last year the revamped Victims’ Code was issued to ensure people receive more support when reporting a crime – knowing what will happen from the moment they report a crime to the end of a trial and beyond, as well as who to demand that help from if it is not been offered up.</p><p> </p><p>Next year, victims’ rights to tell the court how their crime has affected them will be set out in statute; a new nationwide Victims’ Information Service will be set up to ensure better information and support; and millions of pounds will be invested in improving the court experience.</p><p> </p><p>Crucially, we will also develop plans to require advocates to undergo specialist training before taking part in sexual abuse or rape trials, which will make going to court easier and less distressing for victims.</p><p> </p><p>The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) does not have figures for the number of applications received or rejected by type of injury. CICA pay awards based on injury descriptions, from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme's 'Tariff of Injuries', these are recorded once CICA have assessed someone as eligible to receive the compensation payable for that injury.</p><p> </p><p>CICA can only produce figures based on awards paid. The table below shows all claims where an award was paid for an injury under the category ‘Sexual offence where the victim is any age (if not already compensated as a child)’.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial year</p></td><td><p>Number of awards</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>1,580</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>1,307</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>1,376</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>1,199</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

answer text <p>The MoJ has set aside around £4m a year since 2011 to fund existing female rape support centres, which also cater for those with historic cases of abuse.

We have also established the first ever fund specifically to help male victims of sexual crimes.</p><p> </p><p>We are also piloting pre-trial cross-examination to help young and vulnerable witnesses give evidence without going through what can be an aggressive and intimidating court experience. This is being tested in three Crown Courts and will be rolled out more widely if successful</p><p> </p><p>The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) does not have figures for the number of applications received or rejected by type of injury.

The table below shows all claims where an award was paid for an injury under the category ‘Sexual offence where victim is a child (under age 18 at time of, or commencement of, offence) or an adult who by reason of mental incapacity is incapable of giving consent’. It is worth noting the volume of awards paid remains proportionate to the volume of overall applications CICA received, which is reducing year-on-year.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial year</p></td><td><p>Number of awards</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>3,350</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>2,722</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>2,592</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>2,165</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
