answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to make additional funding available specifically for school crossing patrols. The Education and Inspection Act 2006 (section 508A) puts a duty on local authorities to promote and establish a strategy for developing a sustainable transport infrastructure that meets the needs of children and young people in their area. This strategy should address such issues as enhanced child safety and security. School Crossing Patrols are one option that can contribute to the fulfilment of this duty. It is for local authorities and schools to determine if and how school crossing patrols are funded from the resources made available by central government.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/01/2016 17:53:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2016 answer text <p>High quality Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education has a vital role to play in ensuring that young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain, helping them develop healthy relationships and recognise unhealthy relationships. It can also give them the skills and knowledge to help keep themselves, and each other, safe. The Government has made it clear in the introduction to the framework to the national curriculum that all schools should teach PSHE. Schools and teachers are best placed to develop their own PSHE curriculum based on the needs of their pupils, drawing on guidance provided by expert organisations such as the PSHE Association.</p><p>As stated in the Government response to the select committee report, we will take forward work with the sector to improve the quality of PSHE, and intend to make significant progress on this issue during this parliament.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 11/01/2016 15:06:32 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
