answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>Higher education providers are autonomous bodies, independent from government; government plays no direct role in the provision of student residential accommodation. Each institution will be best placed to identify the needs of their particular student body.</p><p>The Unistats website provides information about all university courses and includes links to individual websites with details of the student accommodation available at a higher education provider.</p><p>I recently called on rogue private landlords to stop exploiting students and face justice when they are failing tenants – especially when they leave students living in squalid conditions. New milestone regulations came into force on 20 March, which give students and renters across the country greater protections and rights if there are serious defects in accommodation.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 02/04/2019 14:44:09 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>​​There is no statutory duty to carry out a transition assessment for a young carer. However in ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018’, we are clear that known transition points for all children in need, including young carers, should be planned for in advance and where children are likely to transition between child and adult service. The guidance is available here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children--2</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Ofsted judges children services on how well they meet their statutory duties, and the Department for Education will intervene to improve services, should Ofsted judge them to be inadequate.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 02/04/2019 16:37:57 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

However, the points raised by Article 39 suggest that the guide did not achieve that.  Rather than divert time and resources to litigation we decided to withdraw the guide in its present form pending a full reconsideration of its contents.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 01/04/2019 12:26:05 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

uin	237746
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>The government’s Review of Post-18 education and funding is making good progress and the independent panel will report shortly, before the government concludes the overall review later this year. Higher and further education are devolved matters and as such the review is considering the English system only. However, we recognise that students make choices across borders, and changes to the post-18 education system funding in England may have a direct impact on the Devolved Administrations. We are therefore engaging with the relevant governments as appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore grouped question UIN 237749 question first answered 03/04/2019 15:14:46 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
