answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2017 answer text <p>We have developed the Active Lives: Children and Young People survey (ALC), to provide a world-leading approach to gathering data on how children engage with sport and physical activity. Each term, a number of schools will be selected randomly to take part in the survey, with the aim of getting 100,000 children and young people in Years 1 to 11 to complete it each academic year. The survey will include measures of children’s activity levels, physical literacy, wellbeing, self-efficacy and levels of social trust.</p><p>The first set of baseline results will be available from early 2019, and will give us a better, and more joined-up, understanding of children’s engagement in sport and physical activity through their early lives and into adulthood.</p><p> </p><p>The Department of Education has not collected data on time spent participating in sport or physical activity by pupils in primary schools prior to the establishment of the Active Lives Children Survey.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 01/12/2017 12:48:48 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2017 answer text <p>Through the primary PE and sport premium, the government has invested over £600 million of ring-fenced funding to primary schools to improve PE and sport since 2013. The government has doubled the premium to £320 million a year from September 2017 using revenue from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy.</p><p>Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer. The premium must be used to develop or add to the PE and sport activities that a school already offers and make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years, including after school clubs.</p><p>An independent evaluation report into the premium was published in December 2015. It found that 77% of schools surveyed introduced new sports in both curricular PE (74%) and extra-curricular sport (77%) since the premium was introduced.</p><p>Through its new Families Fund, Sport England will be investing up to £40 million into projects which offer new opportunities for families with children to get active and play sport together. Sport England is currently working with applicants who are developing proposals for the first tranche of investment (£10 million) from the Families Fund.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 01/12/2017 12:53:38 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2017 answer text <p>Foster carers play a vital role in supporting some of our most vulnerable children and we recognise the importance of effective support for the recruitment and retention of foster carers. However, we also need to consider whether it is possible for children in foster care to take up the additional hours in a way that promotes the best interests of the child so I would like to work with local councils, fostering service providers and others in the sector to ensure we get the balance right. We will aim to set out more detail in due course.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 01/12/2017 13:15:54 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
