answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department wants to help schools support the wellbeing of their pupils. That is why in October 2018, my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister announced that schools would be provided with a framework to support them to assess the wellbeing of their pupils. The Prime Minister also made a commitment that the Government will publish an annual ‘State of the Nation’ report every year on World Mental Health Day, highlighting the trends and issues in young people’s wellbeing. Work is underway to deliver these commitments.</p><p>In addition, the Department is working with the Department of Health and Social Care to ensure that all schools have access to mental health support, and has also doubled the Primary Physical Education and Sport Premium to £320 million per year since September 2017. The Department is delivering a programme of work to explore how best to support disadvantaged children and their families to access free enrichment activities and healthy food during the school holidays. Up to £26 million is being invested in a breakfast club programme, which will open or improve breakfast clubs in over 1,700 schools and will be targeted at the most disadvantaged areas of the country.</p><p>Bullying can have serious and lasting consequences on wellbeing. The Government has sent a clear message to schools that bullying, including cyberbullying, for whatever reason is unacceptable. All schools are legally required to have a behaviour policy with measures to prevent all forms of bullying. The Department is providing over £2.8 million of funding between September 2016 and March 2020, to four anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 20/12/2018 16:57:12 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>All three- and four-year-olds and eligible two year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free childcare per week and registered providers offering this early years provision are required to meet the standards of learning and care in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Take up of the free entitlements is high with 95% of three and four year olds accessing the entitlement. Of the 97% of four year olds accessing provision, the majority will be in a reception class, where in the summer term every child is assessed against the Early Learning Goals as part of the EYFS Profile. In 2016 almost 70% of children reached a good level of development.</p><p>For children who do not attend a registered early years setting, there is no requirement for the parent or carer to meet any of the requirements in the EYFS Stage statutory framework. In 2015-16, the Department ran pilots in seven local authorities to offer the benefits of the Integrated Review to children not in formal childcare. The pilots evaluated how best to work with parents of two year-olds not in registered childcare settings, so that their children can also benefit from an Integrated Review. The results of this pilot are being considered.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 24/11/2016 12:18:50 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2015 answer text <p>It is important for parents and teachers to know how well a child is progressing.
