answer text <p>16 to 19 funding is based on a national funding formula with a standard base rate of £4,000 for a full-time 16 or 17 year old student, and additional funding related to the characteristics of students and their learning programmes. This formula has operated since 2013/14. A different national funding formula operated before that, but the figures for the 2 are not consistent.</p><p>The average 16 to 19 funding per student for institutions in Warrington is shown below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Funding Per Student</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£4,547</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£4,446</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£4,441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£4,439</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£4,441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£4,383</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br> The table is based on formula funding per student derived from annual allocations covering 16 to 19 provision, to institutions based in Warrington (excluding special schools). Further funding is provided through student support, for high needs provision and from 2018/19 onwards the industry placement capacity and delivery fund.</p><p>Note that this figure includes both full- and part-time students as we do not allocate funding separately for these 2 groups. The vast majority of 16-19 year old students are full-time.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The department does not collect information on the subjects offered by individual institutions. However, the number of students entering each subject can be provided as a proxy, and this data is available at institutional level from 2011/12. Between 2011/12 and 2016/17, there have been 99 sixth form colleges that were open for at least one year. The attached table gives the number of pupils entering each subject at each institution for each year.</p><p>Some sixth form colleges were not always open, have since closed, or have converted to academies (these are denoted as ‘-’ in the figures). Having zero entries into a subject does not necessarily mean that the subject was not offered by the sixth form in that year - it could be the case that no students chose to enter it or if they did, they sat no exams in that particular year. Some sixth forms also have small cohorts of students and therefore the numbers entering different subjects is naturally low and prone to fluctuation; this could lead some sixth forms to have no entries in particular years.</p>

answer text <p>In response to the Report of the Women and Equalities Select Committee and the Petitions Committee on Dress Codes, the Government Equalities Office has assessed the law as it relates to employers requiring their employees to abide by a dress code, including (for women) the need to wear unsuitable footwear. We believe that the direct and indirect discrimination provisions, together with the enforcement arrangements in the Equality Act 2010, offer an effective remedy for employees who are concerned that they are being discriminated against in these situations. The Equality Act 2010 does not ban specific practices, but instead defines unlawful conduct and allows the courts to decide whether such conduct has been proven in any given case.</p><p>People with concerns about discriminatory dress codes can contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas), which provides authoritative and impartial free advice to employees or employers via their website (<a href="http://www.acas.org.uk" target="_blank">www.acas.org.uk</a>) and telephone helpline (0300 123 1100).</p><p>The Equality Advisory and Support Service also provides bespoke advice and in-depth support to individuals with discrimination problems via the following number: 0808 800 0082 or via text phone: 0808 800 0084.</p>
