answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK has some of the toughest powers in the world to deal with sex offenders and we are committed to ensuring that the system is as robust as it can be.</p><p>Registered sex offenders are managed by the police, who are in the best position to identify the risk posed by individuals. There are a range of legislative measures available to the police, including the notification requirements (commonly referred to as ‘the sex offenders register’) and civil orders to manage known sex offenders living in the community.</p><p>Other criminal justice partners and social care agencies contribute to the effective management of sex offenders through Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA). These are statutory arrangements that seek to reduce the serious re-offending behaviour of sexual and violent offenders by the sharing of information.</p><p>We are very clear that the police are best placed to assess the risk of an offender committing another crime, and they will rightly put the public first. We continue to work with the Police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure that the right powers are available for the authorities to tackle sexual crimes and to bring perpetrators to justice.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 30/10/2018 16:32:33 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2018 answer text <p>Our seafarers are highly skilled professionals entering STEM related careers and the Department is keen to see more young people entering the industry and taking advantage of the many and wide ranging career opportunities that the maritime sector offers.</p><p> </p><p>Government incentivises careers at sea by supporting approximately 30% - 50% of the cost of Seafarer Training through the Support for Maritime Training (SMarT) scheme. To create further training opportunities, SMarT Plus was announced earlier this year which will see SMarT funding doubled to £30m over the next seven years and training places increased to 1200 per year. In addition to SMarT, a continual supply of training opportunities are made available through the UK’s tonnage tax regime which requires a tonnage tax company to recruit and train one trainee officer (or ratings equivalent) for every 15 officer posts in its fleet.</p><p> </p><p>As apprenticeships policy is devolved, the Department continues to support the sector in developing maritime apprenticeships in England, opening opportunities for careers at sea to all. There are currently 3 seafaring apprenticeships available for use with the levy. The Department also continues to support a number of initiatives promoting careers at sea to young people, including Seafarers Awareness Week, Maritime UK’s Maritime Careers Forum, the Women in Maritime Taskforce and the Year of Engineering.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 19/10/2018 10:11:51 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
