Over the last year Government has acted to level the playing field for UK steel producers in light of the complex global challenges faced by the UK steel sector.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>The new national curriculum, introduced in September 2014, made financial literacy statutory for the first time. It is taught as part of the citizenship curriculum for 11 to 16 year olds. Pupils are taught the functions and uses of money, the importance of personal budgeting, money management and the need to understand financial risk.</p><p> </p><p>All schools do have a duty to provide their pupils with a broad and balanced curriculum and financial education can be delivered as part of this. Financial education can also be addressed more broadly as part of extra-curricular activities. Programmes such as the National Citizen Service give young people the chance to plan and potentially fundraise for a social action project.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently no plans to review the national curriculum.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 08/11/2016 16:36:42 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>Schools play a very important part in identifying pupils who are young carers and in offering them appropriate support.</p><p> </p><p>During school inspection, Ofsted inspectors consider how schools are meeting the needs of their pupils, including young carers. It is for schools to demonstrate to inspectors that they know all of their pupils, including those with caring responsibilities, and have strategies in place to support these pupils and ensure that they are making expected progress.</p><p> </p><p>This Department has funded the Carers Trust and The Children’s Society, in partnership with Suffolk Family Carers, to work with local authorities to develop models of assessment and support that specifically address the needs of young carers. We have also trained school nurses to be champions for young carers, to speak up on behalf of young carers and help head teachers and governors decide how best to support them at school.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 08/11/2016 17:52:28 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>We expect social media companies, and internet platforms, to have robust processes in place and to act promptly when abuse, including threats of rape and sexual violence, is reported. The Government continues to work closely with social media companies and other relevant actors and experts to make sure they are committed to protecting those who use their platforms.</p><p>The Criminal Justice Act 2015 strengthened two existing communications offences: section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988, and section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 which can now be used to prosecute misuse of social media. The police now have longer to investigate either offence, and the maximum penalty for the former has been increased to two years imprisonment.</p><p>The Crown Prosecution Service has published guidance to prosecutors this month on crimes involving social media, with a specific focus on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) offences. This includes guidance that communications that contain images or videos of women with very serious injuries, or of women being raped, or of women being subjected to sadistic acts of violence, accompanied by text that suggests that such assaults / rape / acts are acceptable or desirable may well be considered grossly offensive and prosecuted either under section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988 or under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.</p><p>The Home Office has allocated £4.6m of the Police Transformation Fund specifically to begin the critical work of setting up a comprehensive and joined up programme of digital transformation across policing. This money will help provide a step-change in digital capability, including a Digital Investigation and Intelligence (DII) programme, which will build police capability in relation to the skills and technology required to respond to the full range of digital crime types.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 08/11/2016 16:12:41 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
