answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text <p>Local authorities (LAs) are under a duty to promote the use of sustainable modes of travel to school and are required to develop a strategy for sustainable local travel. Information about school travel and transport options available must be published on the LA’s website. LAs should carry out an audit of the sustainable transport infrastructure that supports travel to school and it is also good practice to audit individual school routes. The specifics of the audit and how often it should be reviewed are for a local authority to decide.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On 18 July 2014, the Department for Education issued revised home to school travel guidance which advises LAs of these duties.

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they will take to ensure the early identification of Speech, Language and Communications Needs (SLCNs); and what measures will be put in place to ensure that the education workforce have the necessary skills to promote language development for pupils with SLCNs.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL3942
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text <p>Supporting children with speech, language and communications needs (SLCN) is extremely important. The Children and Families Act 2014 provides the statutory framework for identifying, assessing and providing for children with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, including those with speech, language and communication needs. Guidance to early years settings, schools, colleges and local authorities on carrying out their duties under the Act is provided through the SEN and Disability Code of Practice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Education settings are responsible for deciding what specialist expertise they need to meet children and young people’s needs. The Department for Education is taking action to support the development of the workforce in a number of ways.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The ‘Early Language Development Programme’ is raising awareness and providing practical training to professionals to improve early speech, language and communication development amongst children aged 0-5. The programme was commissioned and funded by the Department for Education and delivered by a consortium led by the specialist voluntary and community sector organisation I CAN. The programme also supports parents and carers with knowledge and skills to support their children’s speech, language and communication development.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Funding is being provided to the Communication Trust which enables it to offer expert advice and support materials on SLCN for parents, young people, schools, colleges and other practitioners across education, health and care. It also enables them to disseminate the findings of the Better Communication Research Programme so as to promote the use of evidence based interventions to support children and young people with SLCN and a focus among commissioners on outcomes and value for money; and provide advice on specialist training and development for teachers and professionals in schools and colleges.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National College for Teaching and Learning is developing specialist resources for initial teacher training and new advanced level online modules on special educational needs - including resources on speech and language needs, to enhance teachers’ knowledge, understanding and skills.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Scholarship Fund for teachers and support staff provides opportunities to apply for funding to undertake postgraduate qualifications and training in supporting children with SEN and disabilities, including those with speech, language and communication needs. Over 1,000 teachers and support staff have been supported through the fund since 2010.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Association for Special Educational Needs, with funding from the Department for Education, has developed a new SEND gateway - an online portal offering education professionals free, easy access to high quality information, resources and training for meeting the needs of children with SEN and disabilities. <a title="" href="http://3dcpri-papp09/new_parliamentaryquestion/HL3942-%20Storey/Draft/HL3942%20SpAds%20Amends%2009.01.15.docx#_ftn1" target="_blank">[1]</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The AfA3As organisation is being funded to make the highly successful Achievement for All (AfA) approach available widely. It provides whole-school support to over 2000 schools to improve outcomes for pupils with SEN and disabilities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Around 11,000 new SEN co-ordinators have been funded to undertake the Master's-level National Award for SEN co-ordination.
