answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>Advertising in the UK is regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the industry’s independent regulator, which enforces the Advertising Codes through a system of self-regulation and co-regulation with Ofcom. The Codes incorporate all relevant legislation and sets standards for accuracy and honesty to which advertisers must adhere, including specific conditions on social responsibility.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to payday loans, guidance relating to the advertising of high-cost short-term credit products is available to advertisers, to ensure that their advertising is compliant with the Advertising Codes, by being socially responsible and not trivialising the seriousness of taking out a loan. At the same time, the Financial Conduct Authority, responsible for regulation of the consumer credit market including payday lenders since 1 April 2014, has introduced a tough set of detailed rules regarding firms’ promotions and advertisements, which operate alongside the Advertising Codes. The Government does not hold data centrally on the effect of advertising on take-up of payday loans.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to gambling machines, the Advertising Codes contain provisions to ensure gambling advertising does not target or appeal particularly to children or young people, or exploit vulnerable people. Gambling companies who advertise in the UK must comply with these rules. In practice, most advertising of gambling products does not involve gaming machines. The Gambling Commission’s Gambling Participation 2017 report showed that 4% of respondents had played on fruit or slot machines in the past four weeks and 1% on machines in bookmakers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 11/02/2019 16:12:07 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>The Separated Parents Information Programme (SPIP) is a course for separated parents that helps them to understand how to put their children first, even though they may be in dispute with one another.

The SPIP content is reviewed regularly, and is currently under review.</p><p> </p><p>All Cafcass practitioners are social workers with at least three years’ post qualifying experience, and all social work staff joining Cafcass receive specialist training on domestic abuse. Cafcass has developed a Domestic Abuse Practice Pathway and recently launched a Child Impact Assessment Framework (CIAF) to provide its practitioners with additional tools to assess the impact of domestic abuse and inform its recommendations to the court about child arrangements. Cafcass keeps both tools under review.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/02/2019 16:25:31 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

The Forced Marriage Unit do not keep a record of the different funding routes used by victims. Prior to 9 January 2019, emergency loans were offered to some adults to assist with repatriation costs as a last resort. As from 9 January, no victim of forced marriage helped to return to the UK by the Forced Marriage Unit will be asked to take out a loan for their repatriation costs. The Government has agreed to ensure that those victims who have outstanding loans will have no further cost fall to them.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 06/02/2019 16:28:34 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
