uin	182771
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2018 answer text <p>The government recognises that children adopted from care can remain vulnerable and have high levels of need. Pupil Premium funding is only available to children attending state-funded schools or where a local authority is providing significant support for a child’s education. Where parents have decided to educate their children at home, they are only eligible for Pupil Premium if the local authority is providing such support. Similarly, pupil premium is available for pupils attending an independent school only where the local authority is paying all or part of the tuition fees. There are no plans to change this.</p><p>We have already extended support from Virtual School Heads and designated teachers to children adopted from outside England and Wales and are carefully considering other educational entitlements, including Pupil Premium Plus.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 29/10/2018 16:56:14 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 81158 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>In March 2018, the department produced additional analysis of its absence statistics which show that while absence rates amongst girls do increase after a certain age, there is no evidence to suggest that this is related to pupils being disadvantaged. This suggests period poverty does not have a significant, nation-wide impact on attendance. The department would like to find out more information on these issues so has included questions relating to period poverty in the 2018 surveys for pupils and senior school leaders.</p><p> </p><p>The government has awarded more than £1.6 million from the £15 million Tampon Tax Fund to Brook Young People, who will educate girls about menstruation and hand out pre-paid cards allowing girls and young women in need to access free sanitary products.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 17/09/2018 15:11:09 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 75800 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
