Let me also offer Home Office Ministers House of Commons our support if they wish to challenge the actions of their colleagues in the Ministry of Justice, who are Monday 12 December 2011 seeking to restrict access to legal aid for victims of domestic violence. Does the Home Secretary agree that that should happen, so that we send a strong message to The House met at half-past Two o’clock victims that they should not have to wait until the first punch is thrown before they get help? PRAYERS Mrs May: The hon. Lady is right that we need to ensure that we have the right definition of domestic [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] violence. That is why the Government are consulting on the appropriate definition and ensuring that we have a cross-Government definition, which, sadly, the previous Oral Answers to Questions Labour Government did not have. Bob Russell (Colchester) (LD): I thank my right hon. Friend for her answer to the excellent opening question and urge her to look at the Home Affairs Committee HOME DEPARTMENT report on domestic violence from the previous Parliament.

  • Emergency Planning Manual
    Version 10 – 20.4.15 EMERGENCY PLANNING MANUAL INTRODUCTION Disasters usually strike suddenly and unexpectedly. Many agencies have a part in dealing with disaster and its aftermath, and the effectiveness of the total response will depend on how well the emergency services, Government agencies and other responders have harmonized their preparations. No single organisational arrangement will be appropriate to each and every disaster, nor will a single organisational blueprint for planning meet every need. The key to an effective response is to apply sound basic principles to the problem in hand. Disasters have a variety of effects on society and the environment. Because of the geographical position of the Island, it has to be accepted that if disaster strikes unexpectedly it will in the initial period have to be dealt with by a local integrated response, linking the expertise of the emergency services with the skills and resources available within the Island. No single agency within the Island, or in fact the UK have the skills and resources which may be needed. In the United Kingdom, the Civil Contingencies Act places a legal duty on a wide range of responders to have integrated plans in place to deal with a range of potential emergencies. This manual has been produced to give generic advice to respond to an emergency, but does not replace existing ‘single-service’ guidance on preparedness and response which many organisations have prepared. This manual adopts the principles of Integrated Emergency Management, and also works to the principles of the Civil Contingencies Act (UK) as a best working guide.
