answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2018 answer text <p>The campaign by ITV and INEOS did not require the approval of the Department for Education. It is up to schools to decide what activities to offer to their pupils, and for private companies to decide the contents of the campaigns they run.</p><p> </p><p>The department supports the adoption of programmes that increase physical activity amongst pupils. Regular physical activity has been linked not only to improved physical health but also to improved mental wellbeing and academic attainment. Programmes such as the Daily Mile are simple, inclusive and can successfully engage the least active children in physical activity, helping them to achieve the 60 active minutes each day recommended by the UK chief medical officers.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 18/04/2018 15:37:27 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>Officials at the Department for Education hold regular discussions with officials in the devolved administrations about the issue of sanitary protection provision in schools; the next discussion is due to take place in April 2018. Officials in the Welsh government have committed to update the Department for Education on all relevant initiatives and we will review evidence on the impact and affordability of their activity.</p><p>Our current Sex and Relationships Education guidance encourages schools to make adequate and sensitive arrangements to help girls cope with menstruation. We support schools in addressing the needs of disadvantaged pupils through the provision of the Pupil Premium, equivalent to almost £2.5 billion of additional funding this year alone. Schools have discretion over how they use their funding and can make sanitary products available to pupils if they identify this as a barrier to attainment or attendance.</p><p> </p><p>Through the current round of Tampon Tax funding we will provide £1.5 million for the ‘Let’s Talk. Period.’ project, which will deliver products to disadvantaged young women and girls identified through local partners, including schools, across England.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Our recently published analysis shows no evidence that period poverty has a significant nation-wide impact on school attendance. We want to find out more about this issue, which is why we intend to place questions on these issues in the department’s 2018 surveys for pupils and senior school leaders.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 29/03/2018 16:52:39 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>We know that many people unable to give birth, such as those with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, look to alternatives such as adoption and surrogacy.</p><p> </p><p>The process of adopting a child in England is free for all eligible adopters whether they approach a local authority or a voluntary adoption agency. Local authorities have the power to make discretionary financial payments to adopters for the purpose of supporting the placement of the adoptive child with them or the continuation of adoption arrangements after an adoption order is made. In addition, local authorities are required to assess the need for post-adoption support when requested by adoptive parents or children.</p><p> </p><p>The government has invested significantly in adoption support through the Adoption Support Fund. Since its launch in May 2015, more than £66 million has been provided for thousands of families to access therapeutic support.</p><p> </p><p>Decisions about local NHS services, including assisted conception and fertility treatment, are the responsibility of local Clinical Commissioning Groups and will take into account the overall needs of the local population. Individual cases where patients suffer from conditions such as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome may be given exceptional consideration.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/03/2018 17:41:45 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
