answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>The standard to which home schooled children have to be educated is already the same as for those attending school. Section 7 of the Education Act 1996 requires parents to ensure that a child of compulsory school age receives full-time education suitable to the child’s age, ability and aptitudes, either by regular attendance at school, or otherwise. ‘Education otherwise than at school’ includes elective home education, and therefore, although methods may differ, the overall requirement is the same.</p><p>Section 136 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 deals with the inspection of local authorities by Ofsted and would not be an appropriate method for imposing a new duty on them.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 12/05/2016 10:02:33 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

Midwifery and Allied Health Professional courses receive higher than average applications as well.</p><p>Rather than denying thousands of United Kingdom applicants a place to study nursing at university and then being forced to hire new nurses from overseas and others from expensive agencies, these reforms will be boosting participation and securing the future supply of home-grown nurses to the National Health Service. The reforms will enable the creation of up to 10,000 additional nursing, midwifery and allied health professional university training places in this Parliament.</p><p>A public consultation will be published during March 2016, an Equalities Analysis and Economic Impact Assessment will be published alongside the consultation document.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 22/03/2016 14:20:11 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
