answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>Schools and colleges have an important role to play in supporting the wellbeing and mental health of their students.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To help them do this effectively, we recently published a blueprint for school counselling services, which provides schools with practical, evidence-based advice informed by experts on how to deliver high-quality school based counselling. This is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At the same time, the PSHE Association published guidance, funded by the Department for Education, on providing age-appropriate teaching about mental health problems. This guidance can be found at: <a href="https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435" target="_blank">https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435</a>. They will also be publishing a set of lesson plans spanning key stage 1 to key stage 4 which will be available for schools to use by September 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We expect that schools will want to use these and other resources to develop the support that they provide. We will continue to work with the sector to look at what further information and support might be helpful.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We know that many schools already provide their pupils with support such as counselling and play an important role in enabling access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Teachers, however, are not mental health professionals and it is important that students can get swift access to specialist mental health support where needed. The recent ‘Future in Mind’ report set out our ambitions for improving care over the next five years, including on making better links between schools and specialist services. This report is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have also announced £1.25 billion of new funding over the next five years to treat 110,000 more children with mental health issues. To inform future practice, the Department for Education will be contributing £1.5 million in 2015-16 to a joint pilot with NHS England, which aims to improve knowledge of mental health issues and interventions, and facilitate better joint working between schools and CAMHS.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 08/06/2015 10:10:08 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many planning areas in England are in need of additional primary school places by September 2015; in how many of those planning areas there has never been an application to open a primary or all-through mainstream free school; and how many of these planning areas have no open primary or all-through mainstream free schools.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2015 answer text <p>The Department collects information from local authorities on the number of school places in state-funded primary and secondary schools as part of the annual School Capacity Collection. Out of a total of 2,444 primary planning areas across England, there were 584 primary planning areas where the local authority forecast for 2015/16 (from May 2014) was greater than the capacity as reported at May 2014. This comparison of forecasts and capacities does not take into account the number of additional places that have been or will be created after May 2014, through targeted basic need projects, new free schools, and places being provided through local authority projects.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In the early stages of the free school policy, proposer groups were not obliged to provide a specific site for their proposed school so we are unable to ascertain the number of planning areas in need of additional primary school places in 2015 where there has never been a primary or all-through free school application.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As at May 2014, 573 of the 584 planning areas in need of additional school places by September 2015 did not have an open primary free school or all-through primary free school. Ten of these planning areas had a primary-phase free school open in September 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Every free school has been opened in response to either the need to provide extra school places, the need to provide parents with greater choice or the need to provide more high quality school places. Almost three quarters of free schools have opened in areas with a forecast need for more places and 94 per cent of free schools approved since January 2014 plan to open in areas with a need for more school places.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 20/03/2015 12:52:57 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

uin	227683
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not collect information at family level on three- or four-year-olds receiving funded early education. The number of children receiving funded early education is published in the statistical first release entitled 'Provision for under five years of age': <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-childcare-and-early-years" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-childcare-and-early-years</a></p><p> </p><p>Under the current policy for three- and four-year-old children receiving 15 hours a week of free childcare, we estimate that the numbers of children will be: 890,000 in 2015, 910,000 in 2016, and 920,000 in 2017. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates, given their link to population projections and parental decisions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah grouped question UIN 227681 227682 question first answered 19/03/2015 16:13:02 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
