answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2017 answer text <p>The Apprenticeships Levy comes into effect from April 2017, as part of a wider suite of reforms to improve the quality and sustainability of the apprenticeship system in England.</p><p> </p><p>Future availability and location of apprenticeships is dependent on employers recruiting apprentices and offering opportunities. We want to encourage more employers to offer more apprenticeships and our reforms provide them with the opportunity to do so. The apprenticeship service helps employers to select the appropriate apprenticeship for their needs; choose the training they want to purchase; choose an assessment organisation and advertise and recruit to their vacancies.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the reforms, employers across the country are designing new apprenticeships that meet their business and skills needs; the quality of apprenticeships is increasing through more rigorous end-point assessment and grading; and new funding policy will make it easier for employers so they can invest in apprentices and offer more opportunities.</p> answering member constituency Harlow answering member printed Robert Halfon question first answered 23/03/2017 12:54:18 answering member 3985 label Biography information for Robert Halfon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2017 answer text <p>Following the announcement on 1 March, we plan to undertake a comprehensive programme of engagement with stakeholders to set out suitable, age-appropriate content on relationships and sex education (RSE) which focuses on mental wellbeing, consent, resilience, age-appropriate relationships and sex education, and keeping safe online. Schools already have a duty to comply with the requirements of the Equalities Act to ensure we remove any barriers to equality and help to build a fairer society.</p><p> </p><p>Our key aim for the proposed relationships education and RSE, working in conjunction with PSHE, is to equip pupils with the knowledge and life skills they will need to stay safe and develop healthy and supportive relationships, particularly dealing with the challenges of growing up in an online world. The focus in primary school will be on building healthy relationships and staying safe. As children get older, it is important that they start to develop their understanding of healthy adult relationships in more depth, with sex education delivered in that context.</p><p> </p><p>The regulations and guidance will be subject to full public consultation later this year, and we expect to see children and young people being taught this new curriculum in schools as soon as September 2019.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 08/03/2017 17:52:50 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
