answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2019 answer text <p>With the changing demands of employees, it is more important than ever that teaching is compatible with having children and family life. Whilst the number of teachers working part time in teaching is increasing, there is still more to do to improve the flexible working offer in schools.</p><p> </p><p>This is why, in January this year, the Deaprtment published the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy which sets out the steps we are taking to promote flexible working opportunities in schools. This includes developing a new high-profile “find your jobshare” website that will support teachers who are looking for jobshare partners; and launching a competition for EdTech providers to create innovative solutions to promote and facilitate part-time and flexible working patterns, including timetabling tools. The Department will complement this with wider best practice resources and further research to support implementation of flexible working.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 28/02/2019 15:55:22 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2019 answer text <p>The Teacher Voice Omnibus Survey, published by the Department in March 2018, showed that 85% of senior leaders said their school taught the existing Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education and Sex and Relationships Education, although they have different approaches in the way these lessons are taught. 51% of head teachers also said their schools would need a continuous professional development programme and examples of good practice to enable them to teach the new compulsory subjects. The survey can be viewed here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/687010/Teacher_Voice_report_Summer_2017.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/687010/Teacher_Voice_report_Summer_2017.pdf</a>.</p><p>The Department has committed to support schools with implementation, including training for teachers. Additionally, an early adopter school programme is being established to support early teaching of the new requirements, from September 2019. The lessons learned from these early adopter schools will be shared with those working to a slower timetable. The Department will also work with early adopter schools to support the design of the training programme and to refine the supplementary guide.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 28/02/2019 15:53:15 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
