answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>The Department takes the issue of asbestos in schools very seriously. We have recently updated and improved our published guidance for schools, which clearly states that if accidental exposure to asbestos has occurred, the duty holder must inform the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The HSE may investigate if major issues are raised where a duty holder’s compliance with their legal duties is called into question.</p><p>We also recently carried out a data collection in schools on how they manage asbestos to understand how they were complying with their duties, and have published the findings. We plan to seek further assurances from duty holders to ensure that asbestos management is compliant with legislation and guidance across their education estates.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/03/2017 14:20:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the announcement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Budget Statement, 16 March 2016, Official Report, column 963, on a fair national funding formula, how £500 million of funding has been allocated to date; and how much is allocated for future spending.

tabling member printed	Angela Rayner
uin	68547
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>We have protected school funding so the amount per pupil remains the same during this Parliament. We will be spending an additional £500 million over and above this amount as we introduce the national funding formula. Of this £500 million, we are spending an extra £200 million a year in 2018-19 and 2019-20 on schools. This allows us to combine increases in funding of up to 5.5% in the first two years of the national funding formula with significant protection for those schools due to lose funding. Funding for pupils with a high level of special educational needs is also increasing, which allows us to provide increases of up to 6% in the first two years of the funding formula and protection so that no local authority loses any funding for high needs.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/03/2017 14:16:21 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	68492
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2017 answer text <p>The Citizenship programmes of study were revised to focus on the core knowledge of citizenship such as democracy, Government, and how laws are made and upheld. They are designed to prepare pupils to play a full and active part in society. The Department has not made a formal assessment of these changes.</p><p>When inspecting schools, Ofsted considers the breadth and balance of the curriculum, including provision for pupils’ personal development, behaviour and welfare, as well as their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. This includes how pupils develop and demonstrate knowledge and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully in and contribute positively to life in modern Britain. Ofsted have strengthened their inspection frameworks so that inspectors assess how well all schools protect pupils from the risks of extremism and radicalisation, and promote fundamental British values. High quality citizenship teaching can help schools to meet their obligations to protect pupils from radicalisation and promote fundamental British values. It can also help schools build pupils’ resilience to extremism through knowledge of important issue to enable them to question information, weigh arguments, and make reasoned judgments.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 27/03/2017 13:36:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
