tabling member constituency	Ashton-under-Lyne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2018 answer text <p>The department does not ordinarily collect information on procurement activity because local authorities and academy trusts are responsible for their own contracts.</p><p> </p><p>Information available to the department indicates that the number of local authority and academy trust schools covered by service contracts with Carillion is relatively low, and significantly lower than figures initially published on Carillion’s website. Schools affected already have robust contingency plans in operation and, for many, this may include transferring services in house, or re-procuring with alternative providers. We are working closely with the Official Receiver, Special Manager and local authorities to confirm the position.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 25/01/2018 17:44:25 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

tabling member printed	Sandy Martin
uin	123553
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2018 answer text <p>The government recognises the importance of supporting pupils at school with medical conditions. Section 100 of the Children and Families Act 2014 introduced a duty that requires governing boards to make arrangements to support pupils with medical conditions. Most schools manage these issues well and take their responsibilities towards pupils with such conditions seriously, making sure that the medical needs of their pupils are being met.</p><p>The department works with organisations such as the Health Conditions in Schools Alliance to raise awareness of the duty, and recently promoted it through the department’s social media channels.</p><p>Governing boards should ensure that schools develop a policy for supporting pupils with medical conditions that is reviewed regularly and is readily accessible to parents and school staff. We keep the guidance under review, including in the context of school awareness, and the role it plays in securing accessibility of school policies.</p><p>This guidance is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-pupils-at-school-with-medical-conditions--3" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-pupils-at-school-with-medical-conditions--3</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 123554 question first answered 26/01/2018 11:57:10 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
