question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the effect on safety of buildings on pupils of removing the expectation from guidance that most new schools should have automatic fire sprinkler systems fitted.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2016 answer text <p>The Department has recently consulted stakeholders on proposed revisions to fire safety guidance, which seek to clarify when sprinklers will be fitted in schools. We are not changing the rules on fire safety. It has never been compulsory for sprinklers to be fitted in schools. All new schools must comply with building and fire safety regulations. Where it is concluded that sprinklers must be fitted to protect property or keep children safe, they will be. We are actively considering responses to the consultation and will respond in due course.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/09/2016 16:35:33 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2016 answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally.</p><p>We do not recognise the term ‘National Schools Database’ but interpret it to mean one of two things:</p><ol><li>The database for schools, Edubase, is a register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education. It provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It provides information about the establishments (e.g headteacher details), but nothing related to individual children.</li><li>The National Pupil Database contains detailed information about pupils in schools and colleges in England and includes information about pupils’ characteristics, such as: gender, ethnicity, first language, eligibility for free school meals, special educational needs (SEN), pupil absence and exclusions. It only contains data about pupils registered at schools. Therefore children not attached to schools/colleges or an alternative provision institution are not covered.</li></ol><p>The welfare of children unassigned to maintained schools or home educated is a Local Authority responsibility.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/09/2016 16:38:02 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
