star this property answer text <p>The statutory duty on local authorities, to promote the education of their looked-after children, applies equally to those in further education (FE). This means looked-after children in FE receive support from their authority’s Virtual School Head and have a Personal Education Plan. This plan should help the local authority and education setting monitor and maximise the young person’s progress.</p><p>Local authorities have a duty to provide financial assistance to care leavers to support their participation in education or training; for example, by contributing to travel costs. In addition, looked-after children in FE are a priority group for the 16 – 19 bursary for defined vulnerable groups, worth up to £1200 a year. Looked-after children or care leavers aged 16 to 24 doing an apprenticeship are eligible for a one-off bursary of £1000 to fund the cost of transition into work and support them in their first year of apprenticeship. If care leavers are following a recognised course of higher education, the authority that looked after them must pay them a one-off bursary of £2000.</p><p>Universities are independent bodies and are best placed to decide how best to support their students. Many universities already provide a range of support to help enable more vulnerable students to attend their institution and access higher education. For example, The University of Sussex, offers care leavers a bursary of £3,000 cash for every year of study and a £500 study grant, as well as a guaranteed room in a campus-based residence for their entire course, including all holidays.</p>

star this property answer text <p>As with the vast majority of NHS services, the funding and commissioning of palliative and end of life care is a local matter, over which individual National Health Service commissioners have responsibility. Local commissioners are best placed to understand the needs of local populations and commission services to meet those needs accordingly.</p><p>In October 2018 Public Health England, in partnership with NHS RightCare, published the first <em>Atlas of variation for palliative and end of life care in England</em> which can be used as a tool by commissioners to better understand the needs of their local population and reduce unwarranted variation. A copy of the Atlas has been placed in the Library due to its size.</p> more like this

The SACN’s, <em>Update on Folic Acid</em> report published in 2017 reconfirmed that its previous recommendation, in 2006 and 2009, for mandatory folic acid fortification to improve the folate status of women most at risk of neural tube defect-affected pregnancies remains unchanged.</p><p>The report stated that the evidence published since the SACN’s previous reports in 2006 and 2009, on potential adverse effects of folic acid, does not provide a substantial basis for changing this recommendation.</p><p>A copy of the SACN’s <em>Update on Folic Acid</em>, 2017, is attached.</p><p>In October the Government announced it will be launching consultation on adding folic acid to flour. This consultation will explore the issues around this complex area and will allow Ministers to take an informed decision on whether to introduce mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid. The timeline for the consultation will be announced shortly.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting carers to provide care as they would wish, and to do so in a way that supports their own health and wellbeing and other life chances.</p><p>The Long Term Plan is currently in development and is due to be published later this year. The content of the plan has yet to be determined, but it is anticipated that plan will acknowledge the important role played by unpaid carers.</p><p>In addition, we set out our commitments to supporting carers in the short-term through the <em>Carers Action Plan 2018-2020: Supporting carers today</em>, published in June. The Plan includes commitments from across Government and the National Health Service. For example, the NHS England and the Care Quality Commission are working together to develop quality standards for general practitioner surgeries to demonstrate how effective they are in identifying and supporting carers. A copy of the <em>Carers Action Plan</em> is attached. We recognise that there is still more to do and that is why the forthcoming Adult Social Care Green Paper will include a focus on how society supports carers as a vital part of a sustainable health and social care system so that they are properly valued, recognised and supported to provide care in a way that supports their own health and wellbeing.</p>
