answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2021 answer text <p>(i) Young Victims</p><p>We recently published an updated version of ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018’. The guidance specifically references teenage relationship abuse as part of the statutory definition of domestic abuse. It also outlines the ‘assessment of risk outside the home’ which ensures that practitioners are alert to the risk of abuse for young people within their own intimate relationships.</p><p>Further to this, the draft guidance that will accompany the Domestic Abuse bill covers abuse in teenage relationships. The guidance has been seen in draft by a wide range of sector representatives, who have provided feedback. The guidance is being finalised ahead of a formal consultation period in the spring.</p><p>(ii) Perpetrators</p><p>The Criminal Justice Act 2003 (“CJA 2003”) provides for the establishment of Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (“MAPPA”) in each of the 42 criminal justice areas in England and Wales. These are designed to protect the public, including previous victims of crime, from serious harm by sexual and violent offenders. They require the local criminal justice agencies and other bodies dealing with offenders to work together in partnership in dealing with these offenders.</p><p>MAPPA guidance states that under the Children Act 2004, the Responsible Authority and DTC agencies have a statutory duty to make arrangements for ensuring that ‘their functions are discharged having regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children’ and that ‘children should not be treated by MAPPA as ‘mini-adults’’.</p><p>The draft Domestic Abuse Statutory Guidance which is due to be published following royal assent of the Bill also includes young people who perpetrate abuse.</p><p>Young people perpetrating abuse in their relationships must be supported in an appropriate way that places emphasis on tackling the drivers of their behaviour. Court and responding agencies must take into account youth justice guidelines when responding to cases of teenage relationship abuse, avoid unnecessarily criminalising young people, and identify appropriate interventions to address behaviours that might constitute or lead to abuse. Relevant youth justice guidelines include:</p><ul><li>Case management guidance for Youth Offending Teams</li><li>Standards for children in the Youth Justice System</li><li>Crown Prosecution Service guidance on youth offenders</li><li>Sentencing Council guidelines on sentencing children and young people</li></ul> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 09/03/2021 16:42:18 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, as part of the Brexit negotiations, of the number of (1) UK manufacturing jobs which depend on exports to customers in the Republic of Ireland, and (2) manufacturing jobs in the Republic of Ireland which depend on exports to customers in the UK.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2019 answer text <p>The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that in 2011 around 38,800 manufacturing jobs in the UK were linked to exports to the Republic of Ireland, and around 34,500 manufacturing jobs in the Republic of Ireland were linked to exports to the UK. The dataset can be found at the following link: <a href="https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TIM2015_C1" target="_blank">https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TIM2015_C1</a></p><p>The Political Declaration sets out the framework for a future relationship that delivers in our national interest, including protecting jobs in the United Kingdom. Both the UK and the EU envisage comprehensive arrangements that would create a free trade area, combining deep regulatory and customs cooperation with zero tariffs, no fees, charges or quantitative restrictions across all goods sectors. This would in turn protect integrated supply chains and jobs, both in the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 21/02/2019 17:42:18 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
