	answer	answer answer text <p>The government takes seriously its role in promoting inclusion and equality in education settings and the Equality Act 2010 (together with Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014) is a foundation stone on which our special educational needs (SEN) and disability system sits. The Equality Act requires all schools (whether maintained or academy) to produce an accessibility plan. These plans are about ensuring that all aspects of school life are accessible to disabled pupils. The Act also requires local authorities to produce accessibility strategies with the same aims as the school-level plan, but with different coverage.</p><p>We have funded the Schools Development Support Agency, working with pdnet to deliver a contract to improve knowledge, skills and capability of the school workforce. Pdnet standards have been developed for the early years, schools and post 16 settings, along with level 1 training for schools raising awareness of physical disabilities. Further information about pdnet is available on <a href="http://pdnet.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://pdnet.org.uk/</a>.</p> question first answered 20/11/2018 15:59:49 answering member 4113

	answer	answer answer text <p>The Home Office does not centrally collect data on the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder among serving police officers or former police officers. However, Home Office officials continue to consider the latest academic research on policing wellbeing, including in relation to trauma.</p><p>The role of a police officer can be challenging, and individuals may be exposed to traumatic incidents. It is the duty of Chief Officers to ensure the welfare of their officers, supported by the College of Policing. The College of Policing published guidance on trauma in policing in February 2018, ‘<em>Responding to trauma: a practical guide.</em>’</p><p>This Government takes police wellbeing very seriously and has invested in programmes to provide direct support to officers, including Mind’s Blue Light Wellbeing Programme which provides targeted support and information. In 2017 we also awarded £7.5m to the College of Policing from the Police Transformation Fund to pilot, and if successful, fund a national welfare service. As part of work to develop this service, the College of Policing are overseeing a pilot led by the Metropolitan Police Service which is focussed on trauma support.</p> question first answered 20/11/2018 16:16:14 answering member 4311
