	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>We have made repeated requests to the Chinese authorities to visit Tibet in the last 10 years, but very few of those have been agreed or acknowledged. The British Ambassador most recently visited Tibet from 26–30 June 2017, with other EU Heads of Mission representing their individual countries. Our Ambassador is the UK representative for the whole of China and we believe it is important she is able to visit all areas – including Tibet. We continue to press for the further access for British diplomats, as well as urging the Chinese authorities to lift the visit restrictions imposed on all foreigners.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 10/12/2018 16:15:31 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

	tabling member constituency	East Worthing and Shoreham
	tabling member printed	Tim Loughton
	uin	206705
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>Volunteers play an important role in supporting children in many of our schools. As decisions whether to engage volunteers are made locally by schools, the department does not collect data on the number of volunteers in schools or data on safeguarding checks carried out for volunteers. There is, therefore, no data held on which to base an estimate of safeguarding checks carried out.</p><p>The department’s statutory safeguarding guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, makes clear that any volunteer should not be deployed to work unsupervised with children without appropriate checks. Where schools decide that a DBS criminal record check is appropriate for a volunteer, these can be obtained free of any charge from DBS. There are no plans currently to change these arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>There is a legal requirement for a DBS criminal record check for school governors, which are predominantly volunteer roles, including any parent governors. School governing boards have a key role in providing clarity of vision, and promoting the ethos and direction of the school and setting the school's aims and policies. DBS and other pre-appointment safeguarding checks, provide reassurance to the governing board that an individual is not disqualified from holding office as a governor and is suitable for the position.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 206706 206707 206709 question first answered 14/01/2019 17:53:14 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
