answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2017 answer text <p>The Government does not issue personal budgets directly. Local authorities are responsible for doing so for children and young people who have special educational needs and disabilities with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans. The latest data is that there were 2,025 personal budgets in place for EHC plans issued and reviewed during 2015. This relates to all children and young people aged 0-25; we do not hold the information for under-18s only.</p><p> </p><p>Direct payments are an option within personal budgets for these children and young people. We do not hold information on the number of direct payments, but in the 2016-17 financial year, £4,726,000 was spent from local authority High Needs Budgets on these direct payments.</p><p> </p><p>Personal health budgets are also available to people who need to receive healthcare funded by the National Health Service, where the benefits of having the budget for healthcare outweigh any additional costs associated with having one.</p><p> </p><p>For children and young people under 18, local authorities are also under a duty to offer direct payments for services which the local authority may provide to children with disabilities, or their families, under the section 17 of the Children Act 1989.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 21/04/2017 13:41:12 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2017 answer text <p>Local authority children’s services or children’s social care providers should ensure that they listen to the views of children and Ofsted will look for evidence of this in their inspection. Ofsted will ask local authorities or providers to arrange for opportunities for inspectors to talk directly with children about their experiences, in person or by telephone, this will give the opportunity for children to provide anonymous feedback about their experiences.</p><p>Additionally, the Department for Education funds the NSPCC to run Childline, which can take anonymous feedback from children on their experiences of the social care system. The NSPCC provides aggregated data to the Department.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 17/03/2017 14:14:43 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

uin	56333
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2016 answer text <p>We want all pupils to be healthy and active. That is why we have provided over £600M of ring-fenced funding since 2013 through the Primary PE and Sport Premium and have doubled funding to £320M a year from autumn 2017.</p><p> </p><p>We know this funding is having an effect. Independent research found that the most common use for the PE and sport premium was to up-skill and train existing staff, and that since the introduction of the PE and sport premium there has been an increase in the number of schools with a specialist PE teacher from 30 per cent before the premium to 46 per cent in 2014/15. The research also found that 87% of schools reported that the quality of PE teaching had increased, and 84% that there had been an increase in pupil engagement in PE during curricular time, and in the levels of participation in extra-curricular activities. Schools also reported almost universally that the PE and sport premium had had a positive impact on physical fitness, healthy lifestyles, and the behaviour of pupils.</p><p>We continue to work with the sector to determine how best to further measure the effect of the doubled premium, and details will be announced in due course. At a local level, schools will continue to report online how they are spending their funding, which includes reporting on the impact that the funding is having on pupils’ PE and sport participation.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/12/2016 16:57:21 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
