answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to creating a truly meritocratic country, where everyone has a fair chance to go as far as their hard work will take them, regardless of background. To raise standards for all pupils, the Department has already reformed the secondary curriculum, assessment and accountability arrangements. The Department’s GCSE reforms mean that there is a rigorous suite of new qualifications, in line with the standards expected in countries with high performing education systems. The Department has also introduced new progress measures so that schools are accountable for the progress pupils make as well as their attainment.</p><p>The Department is aware that the most significant factor affecting pupil attainment, across all ethnicities including white British children, is economic disadvantage. To tackle this, the Department has provided a total of £13.75 billion from April 2011 to March 2018 through the pupil premium to help schools improve the progress and attainment of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Department continues to provide this additional funding, which is £2.4 billion this year alone. Pupils recorded as eligible for free school meals now, or at any point in the last 6 years, are eligible for the pupil premium.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 26/02/2019 16:31:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

tabling member constituency	Mansfield
tabling member printed	Ben Bradley
uin	142511
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>Schools and colleges are under a legislative duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. As part of this duty, they must have regard to statutory safeguarding guidance, 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' and 'Working Together to Safeguard Children'. Available respectively at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2</a> and <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>. The guidance sets out the steps that they must take and the systems that must be in place to provide support for children at each stage of their education. In the context of both guidance documents ‘children’ includes 16 and 17 year olds.</p><p> </p><p>Ofsted inspectors report on whether or not arrangements for safeguarding and supporting children and learners are effective. Ofsted has published guidance to inspectors setting out the approach they should take to inspecting safeguarding in early years, education and skills – <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/inspecting-safeguarding-in-early-years-education-and-skills-from-september-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/inspecting-safeguarding-in-early-years-education-and-skills-from-september-2015</a>. This makes clear that safeguarding is not just about protecting children and learners from deliberate harm and neglect and relates to broader aspects of care and education. Pupils’ and students’ personal development, behaviour and welfare is also a key area of focus in all inspections of education providers conducted under Ofsted’s Common inspection framework.</p><p> </p><p>We are clear in 'Working Together to Safeguard Children' and 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' about the importance of early help assessments. Early help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges at any point in a child’s life. These assessments should be undertaken by school and college staff for children, especially vulnerable children, aged 16 and 17 as appropriate to their local circumstances. Effective early help can prevent problems escalating. In some cases, however, the school or college may consider that the child is a child in need, as defined under the Children Act 1989, and make a referral to children’s social care.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently conducting a range of work to assess and improve the support children in need receive, including those experiencing mental ill-health, domestic abuse, exploitation or substance misuse. The children in need review and call for evidence, which was launched on 16 March, is looking at the educational outcomes for all children in need, including 16 and 17 year olds, and what support they need to improve those outcomes. The Children’s Social Care Innovation Programme is also funding projects to assess how early help and contextual safeguarding can help protect adolescents and prepare them for adult life.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 16/05/2018 15:08:36 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>On 16 March 2018, the government announced a programme of work to better understand how to improve the educational experiences and outcomes of children and young people with additional needs and challenges, so they are able to overcome barriers and realise their potential. This includes those who are 16 and 17 years old.</p><p> </p><p>These children and young people perform less well at school on average, are at greater risk of being excluded and are overrepresented in alternative provision. This is an overlapping cohort whose needs are often complex – many have special educational needs and disabilities (where support extends beyond 18, up to age 25), or are children in need of help and protection and so are supported through the social care system.</p><p> </p><p>The programme consists of:</p><ul><li>Launching a review into the educational outcomes of and support for Children In Need;</li><li>Carrying out an externally led review of school exclusions;</li><li>Publishing our vision for reforming alternative provision, including the launch of a £4 million Innovation Fund.</li></ul><p>As part of the review for children in need of help and protection, we have published new data and analysis, which offers initial insights into support provided in school for children in need who also claim free school meals, receive the pupil premium, and to meet special educational needs. This constituted new analysis, however, and the data did not include a breakdown by age.</p><p> </p><p>To enable us to understand what support works in practice, we have announced a call for evidence of effective practice to improve educational outcomes for children in need. This will start to bring together and build the evidence of what support is currently being delivered both in and out of school, how its effectiveness is being measured and evaluated, and its influence on educational outcomes.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 139348 question first answered 03/05/2018 16:11:21 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
