Local authorities must secure the provision specified in a child or young person’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. Where this requires the local authority to provide additional ‘top-up’ funding, an agreement should be in place between the local authority and the institution that confirms the amount of top-up funding to be paid.

The Department has issued guidance on how schools can promote fundamental British values as part of their requirement to teach spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. This guidance sets out that schools should enable students to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures. For many schools, religious education is likely to form part of their approach to promoting these values.</p><p> </p><p>Religious education (RE) is compulsory at all key stages in all state-funded schools to age 18. Therefore schools should already be providing an age-appropriate RE curriculum.</p><p> </p><p>Although the Department does not routinely monitor schools to ensure that they meet their statutory duties, my right Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State has a range of powers to ensure that schools comply where he investigates complaints and finds that they have not done so.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/01/2019 13:20:07 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
