answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The government firmly believes that the UK and European countries should continue to give young people and students the chance to benefit from each other’s world-leading universities following our exit from the European Union.</p><p>The next generation of EU programmes is currently being discussed in the EU. This includes the proposed regulation for the 2021-27 Erasmus+ programme, which has reached a partial general approach in the Council of the European Union.</p><p>Improving social mobility is a priority for this government and we want everyone to have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or where they grew up. For this reason, the government welcomes the aim of the Commission’s proposal to make the next programme more accessible to participants, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p><p>We will continue to participate in discussions on the draft regulation while we remain an EU Member State and are considering options for future participation in the next Erasmus+ programme. Of course, the text of the regulation has not been finalised, including important aspects such as the terms of third-country participation, and we will need to consider the regulation as a whole.</p><p>Ultimately, any decisions about our participation in the Erasmus+ programme will also be a matter for wider negotiations about our future relationship with the EU.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 13/05/2019 16:10:12 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s response to Edward Timpson’s review of school exclusion sets out our commitment to ensure that pupils who have been excluded from school continue to benefit from high-quality education.</p><p> </p><p>There are already duties in place to ensure children who are excluded from school are in education from the sixth day of their exclusion. The education provided must be full-time, or as close to full-time, if full-time would not be in a child’s best interests because of his or her health needs.</p><p> </p><p>Statutory guidance is also clear that schools should help to minimise the disruption that exclusion can cause to an excluded pupil’s education including considering starting alternative provision as soon as possible after the exclusion. In the case of a looked after child, the school and the local authority should work together to arrange alternative provision from the first day following the exclusion. Where it is not possible, or not appropriate, to arrange alternative provision during the first five school days of an exclusion, the school should take reasonable steps to set and mark work for the pupil.</p><p> </p><p>Fair access protocols exist to ensure that, outside the normal admissions round, unplaced children, especially the hardest to place and most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible. However, the Department is aware there can be delays in the in-year admission of such children. As such, the Department is currently considering improvements to the in-year admission process, including Fair Access Protocols, to ensure that all children, especially the most vulnerable, can access a new school place as quickly as possible.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/05/2019 16:37:27 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department is clear that off-rolling is unacceptable, and while it believes this practice is relatively rare, the Government is committed to continue to work with Ofsted to define and tackle the practice of off-rolling.</p><p>Ofsted already considers records of children taken off roll and has recently consulted on proposals that will see a strengthened focus on this issue. It has proposed that where inspectors find off-rolling, this will always be addressed in the inspection report, and where appropriate will lead to a school’s leadership being judged inadequate. Ofsted will publish the outcome of its consultation soon.</p><p>In response to Edward Timpson’s review of school exclusion, the Department has committed to working with education leaders over the summer to design a consultation on making schools accountable for the outcomes for permanently excluded children, to be launched in the autumn.
