These things are not easy to quantify. Approaches to quantifying benefits of a policy intervention are used in accordance with principles outlined in HM Treasury’s guidance on conducting appraisal and evaluation in central Government (known as the “Green Book”). The Green Book recognises that using these approaches to quantify the benefits of an intervention is challenging, and that the approaches should be used appropriately.

To answer each of these points in turn:
(a) DCMS uses Department for Transport cost of fatality estimates where relevant to policy development. For instance, this valuation technique was used recently as part of the assessment of costs associated with allowing motor sport on closed roads.
(b) DCMS follows valuation guidance set out in HM Treasury's Green Book, including the use of willingness to pay techniques, to proportionately assess the impact of policy interventions. Willingness to pay has been used as part of the DCMS cost-benefit analysis of Digital Radio Switchover, for example. DCMS also recommends Green Book valuation techniques are used by our ALBs to inform spending decisions.
(c) DCMS uses the Quality Adjusted Life Year approach where relevant to policy development. To take an example, the Culture and Sport Evidence programme that DCMS shares with a range of ALB partners has developed a Quality Adjusted Live Year approach for physical health benefits of sport, which Sport England use to assess local impacts.
Other techniques used to assess benefits of interventions include macro-economic modelling to assess the impacts of both the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and superfast broadband investment funded by the Department.

All new policies, programmes and projects in the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) are subject to comprehensive but proportionate assessment of costs and benefits following Her Majesty’s Treasury (HMT) Green Book guidance. The guidance provides advice on valuing costs and benefits including where there is no market value:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/220541/green_book_complete.pdf
In cases where non-market costs or benefits have a significant impact on the outcome, DECC adopt different valuation techniques to elicit values as far as possible. For example, willingness to pay and willingness to accept techniques have been used to elicit the value that users attribute to security of electricity supply (value of lost load):

Quality-adjusted life year (QALY)-based methods have also been used by the Department to illustrate the potential health impacts of improving the energy efficiency of fuel poor homes in the ‘Fuel Poverty—a framework for future action’. Work is planned to understand how estimates of QALYs may be incorporated into cost-benefit analysis in the future:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fuel-poverty-a-framework-for-future-action
On other tools to quantify non-market costs and benefits, DECC has produced supplementary guidance to the Green Book which applies the Green Book techniques and principles in the specific context of valuing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions:

The Green Book and associated supplementary guidance is publicly available on the Treasury web site. It sets out a range of approaches and methods that may be appropriate in a number of different appraisal circumstances. The valuation of preventing fatalities makes a contribution to the calculation of risk reduction in many situations and is used extensively by the Department for Transport among others. Department of Health policies are likely to impact on health and longevity. For the majority of these policies, the impacts will be quantified in terms of quality adjusted life years. The cost of producing a quality adjusted life year is used as part of the appraisal and evaluation of alternative health investments.

Department for Education economists employ a range of valuation tools as appropriate to specific policy interventions in order to advise Ministers, following the principles and techniques prescribed in HM Treasury guidance. Such techniques are also used as appropriate in research commissioned by the Department, for instance in policy evaluations.

The Ministry of Justice does not use calculations of (a) the value of preventing a fatality, (b) willingness to pay and (c) cost-per-quality adjusted life year approach to quantify the value of a policy intervention.
The Ministry of Justice uses a range of analytical approaches to assess and evaluate policies, including quantifying the benefits, in line with guidance provided by HM Treasury:
“The Green Book: appraisal and evaluation in central government”
“The Magenta Book” on designing an evaluation.
