answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>Since being appointed, I have not had a chance to discuss this issue with colleagues. However, we know moving into temporary accommodation can mean changing schools, which is strongly associated with poorer attainment. We provide schools with extra resources to ensure all pupils, regardless of their home circumstances, can go as far as their talent and hard work will take them. We have spent almost £2.5 billion this year through the pupil premium to support disadvantaged pupils.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 29/01/2018 16:32:25 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what training (1) social workers, and (2) foster parents, who are responsible for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, are given with regard to immigration issues.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL5139
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2018 answer text <p>The revised statutory guidance, published on 1 November 2017, for the care of unaccompanied migrant children and child victims of modern slavery attached, sets out the responsibility for all local authorities to ensure that social workers, personal advisers and their managers should understand how the child’s experiences, vulnerabilities and immigration status may impact on children. This can also have an impact on their assessment, care planning and delivery, and planning for the transition to adulthood.</p><p> </p><p>The Fostering Services Regulations 2011 clearly sets out that all foster carers must receive the training and development they need to carry out their role effectively and to meet the child’s individual needs. It is up to local fostering services to determine what training they offer so they are able to meet local needs, such as training specifically in relation to unaccompanied asylum seeking children. Many local authorities and agencies have developed evidence-based training packages for their carers on a range of related issues.</p><p> </p><p>On 1 November 2017, the Department for Education and Home Office published the attached safeguarding strategy on unaccompanied and asylum-seeking children. This sets out additional actions that the government will take to safeguard and promote the welfare of these children. Commitments include providing 1,000 training places for foster carers and support workers caring for unaccompanied children, and downloadable training resources to enable social workers to understand when and how they should be involved in a child’s immigration claim.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name UASC_Safeguarding_Strategy_2017.pdf title Safeguarding Strategy 2 file name UASC_Statutory_Guidance_2017.pdf title Care of unaccompanied migrant children question first answered 12/02/2018 16:49:59 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
