answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) reforms have been designed to increase aspirations across the system, including among parents, children and young people themselves and the education and health professionals that support them. This includes making it a legal requirement that all children and young people with SEND must be prepared for adulthood, including employment.</p><p>Supported internships offer young people with SEND a clear pathway into employment. We are keen to do more to increase the uptake of supported internships and are considering how we can build the evidence base further, including looking into current models of supported internship delivery, to enable us to share evidence with providers of promising practice.</p><p>We continue to fund a range of support across the system to raise aspirations and also consistently communicate our expectations to stakeholders, including schools and colleges. This includes providing £9.7 million to local authorities, in 2018, to establish local supported internship forums, bringing together local partners to develop and deliver supported internships in their area. Funding can also be used to train job coaches.</p><p>Good practice examples of supported internships are also gathered by our delivery partner, National Development Team for Inclusion, and published on the Preparing for Adulthood website: <a href="https://www.preparingforadulthood.org.uk/downloads/employment" target="_blank">https://www.preparingforadulthood.org.uk/downloads/employment</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 04/03/2019 17:02:28 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of (a) bed and breakfast accommodation, (b) adult hostels and (c) campsites used for 16 and 17 year olds requiring independent living accommodation.

uin	206406
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The department collects annual data on looked after children in independent living, with or without live-in support. These figures are given in the attached table. This information is not broken down to bed and breakfast accommodation, adult hostels, campsites or independent living placements without live-in support. Securing suitable accommodation that meets the needs of looked after children is a vital step in delivering improved outcomes for this vulnerable group.</p><p>The number of children in independent living increased by 29% between 2010 and 2018. This category includes accommodation such as a flat, lodgings, bedsit, bed and breakfast or living with friends. Live-in visiting support may be included as part of this package. Care should be taken when interpreting this rise because changes to the collection resulted in improvements in the accuracy of reporting placements. The figures for 2015 and earlier years are therefore not comparable with later years and any assessment of trends should take this into account.</p><p>The department collects and publishes data on 17 year old care leavers who are accommodated in bed and breakfasts and emergency accommodation. This is published in Table F4 of the statistical release ‘Children looked after in England including adoption: 2017 to 2018’ and can be accessed at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2017-to-2018</a>.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 206407 question first answered 16/01/2019 17:29:00 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi attachment 1 file name 206406_and_206407_table_of_children_aged_16 or_17_looked_after_as_at_31_March in_independent_living.doc title 206406_206407_table_of_children_in_assisted_living
