	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>Maintained Nursery Schools (MNS) make a valuable contribution to improving the lives of some of our most disadvantaged children.</p><p>We have been providing around £60 million per year of supplementary funding to local authorities so that they can preserve MNS funding. We listened to concerns about the timing of the Spending Review and therefore last week we announced that we would provide local authorities with around £24 million of further supplementary funding, to enable them to fully fund MNS for the whole of the 2019/20 academic year. Local authorities can feel reassured they can allocate September 2019 places in MNS with confidence.</p><p>All expenditure that falls in the next Spending Review period, including the additional supplementary funding, is a matter for the Spending Review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/03/2019 08:04:39 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>All schools have duties under the Equality Act (2010) towards individual disabled children and young people, including:</p><ul><li>to make reasonable adjustments, including the provision of auxiliary aids and services, to prevent them being put at a substantial disadvantage;</li><li>not to discriminate in relation to their disability; and</li><li>to publish accessibility plans setting out how they plan to increase access for disabled pupils to the curriculum, the physical environment and to information. (Local authorities have parallel duties to publish accessibility strategies.)</li></ul><p>Complementing this, the Children and Families Act (2014) places duties on schools to use their ‘best endeavours’ to make special education provision for those who need it, many of whom will have disabilities.</p><p>Taken together, this amounts to a range of exacting duties on schools in relation to disability.</p><p>To support schools in meeting those duties, in relation to vision impairment and more broadly, we are providing £3.4 million funding over 2018-2020, for the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools’ workforce contract, which will be delivered by the Whole School SEND consortium, led by the National Association for Special Educational Needs, nasen. Our aim is to embed SEND into school-led approaches to school improvement in order to equip the workforce to deliver high quality teaching across all types of SEND. As part of this programme of work, we are also reviewing the learning outcomes of specialist SEND qualifications, including the mandatory qualifications for teachers of classes with vision impairment, to ensure they reflect the changing needs of the education system.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 11/03/2019 14:14:55 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
