answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2017 answer text <p>Secondary postgraduate recruitment is at its highest level since 2011/12, showing that teaching continues to be an attractive career choice among graduates. It is encouraging that we have the highest number of trainee teachers in science and maths since 2011/12. Physics, traditionally the hardest subject area in which to recruit, is up 15% on 2015/16.</p><p>We recognise the challenge, particularly as the economy continues to strengthen, pupil numbers grow and the demand for talented graduates increases. This is why we continue to focus on recruiting the best graduates, particularly in the core academic subjects such as science and maths.</p><p>Physics trainees receive the highest bursary levels available, reflecting the fact it is a key priority for the Government, and physics graduates are in high demand across the economy. Physics trainees with a first receive a £30,000 bursary, and those trainees with a 2:1 or 2:2 in Maths or Physics receive a £25,000 bursary. Chemistry trainees with a first receive a £25,000 and those with a 2:1 or 2:2 receiving £20,000. Biology trainees receive a bursary of up to £15,000.</p><p>We are also continuing to fund the prestigious scholarship schemes in maths and physics.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Government has committed £67m to the STEM Teacher Supply Package. This package consists of a number of strands, which aim to improve pupil outcomes in mathematics and physics by improving the quality of teaching in the classroom. The package focuses on achieving this by recruiting a higher proportion of new teachers with specialist STEM backgrounds and providing qualified teachers who are not STEM specialists, but who have a firm grounding in a STEM, with subject specialism training.</p><p> </p><p>Teacher retention has remained broadly stable for the past 20 years, with around 90% of teachers working in a state-funded school the year after qualifying, and around seven out of ten teachers still in the classroom after five years. We recognise the importance of supporting schools to retain good teachers, which is why we have taken action in the areas that teachers tell us are most likely to cause them to consider leaving the profession, such as reducing unnecessary workload and tackling poor pupil behaviour.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/03/2017 16:58:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	65847
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2017 answer text <p>Criminal record certificates issued by the Disclosure and Barring Service do not expire after a specific period of time and do not include a renewal date. A certificate has no set period of validity. Information revealed through a Disclosure and Barring Service check reflects the information that was available at the time of its issue. Disclosure certificates are primarily designed to be used by an employer at the point of recruitment for a particular position.</p><p> </p><p>Some roles and some employers require the person concerned to “renew” their Disclosure and Barring Service check at specific intervals. The person can do that either by applying for a new certificate or by using the Disclosure and Barring Service Update Service.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 02/03/2017 16:56:19 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2017 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust between May and June 2016. As Bridgewater is of a particular size and complexity the post inspection and pre-publication processes took longer than the usual set timescale and were not completed until October 2016. The report was published on the CQC website on 6 February 2017 and a quality summit held on 20 February 2017 with representatives from the CQC, NHS England and NHS Improvement. Bridgewater is due to submit an action plan to the CQC for consideration with a follow up engagement meeting planned for April 2017. A re-inspection of the trust will be discussed as part of our regulatory planning process.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 27/02/2017 17:54:25 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2017 answer text <p>Access to both the general and targeted elements of the Sustainability Transformation Fund provisionally allocated to providers will be unlocked as they meet their financial control totals. At each quarter, 70% of allocated funding will be released upon achievement of the financial control total, with a further 30% released where a provider also meets its agreed trajectories for delivery of operational standards. Trusts should work on the basis that they must achieve all the criteria of the fund, including individual improvement trajectories, in order to receive the funding.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 27/02/2017 17:55:04 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

This pause was deemed appropriate as it has allowed time to seek assurance that the proposals are the best option for local patients and residents. An overall rating of ‘requires improvement’ would not, in itself, prevent a transaction taking place.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 24/02/2017 10:31:05 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

tabling member constituency	West Lancashire
tabling member printed	Rosie Cooper
uin	64787
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2017 answer text <p>A criminal record for the offence of sending an indecent image will only result where the offender, child or adult, is charged to court (and found guilty) or cautioned by the police. Where the police resolve such cases by other means no criminal record is established.</p><p>The Government is clear that where a crime has been committed it should be recorded as such. This is critical to understand the extent of this issue, to identify any pattern of repeat or high-risk behaviour, and providing transparency and accountability.</p><p>However, the police have wide discretion as to how to address such behaviour. Working with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the Department for Education new guidance has been issued to police and schools in relation to children sending indecent images and which has a focus on safeguarding. We have introduced a new outcome for police to apply in cases where they consider it appropriate to undertake no criminal investigation and which will highlight that any subsequent disclosure should only be in the most exceptional cases.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis grouped question UIN 64788 question first answered 24/02/2017 13:11:31 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
