answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2016 answer text <p>We recognise the importance of teaching children and young people about the importance of sun safety and the risks of skin cancer. The primary science national curriculum emphasises the need for pupils to recognise the different ways in which light from the sun can be dangerous and how they should protect their eyes. Skin cancer and other health issues can also be covered in the key stage 4 science curriculum when pupils can be taught about the impact of lifestyle factors on the incidence of non-communicable diseases. Schools can choose to include cancer awareness in their Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education lessons. The non-statutory programme of study for PSHE education enables schools to teach young people about cancer prevention, checking for cancer and other illnesses, and how to overcome worries about seeking help.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance on “Skin Cancer Prevention” in January 2011.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 20/01/2016 14:29:41 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

We have also protected the pupil premium at its current rates, worth £2.5 billion annually. Additionally, all local authorities must include a deprivation factor in their local funding formulae, through which they distribute funding to schools in their locality. It is for individual schools to decide how best to use their funding to raise the attainment of pupils, including those from deprived backgrounds, which can include visits in support of the curriculum.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 19/01/2016 16:35:03 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
