answer text <p>An updated list of schools and colleges with confirmed cases of RAAC was published on 6 December, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reinforced-autoclaved-aerated-concrete-raac-management-information.</p><p> </p><p>As of 27 November, there are 231 education settings with confirmed RAAC in some of their buildings. At the time of publication, three schools had hybrid arrangements in place, of which two are now in full time face-to-face education for all pupils and we expect the remaining school to be back in the near future. There were no education settings with confirmed RAAC where all pupils are in full-time remote learning.</p><p> </p><p>Where the presence of RAAC is confirmed, responsible bodies and schools are expected to ensure that face-to-face learning continues as a priority. The department will support them to do this through dedicated caseworker teams.</p><p> </p><p>Each school or college with confirmed RAAC is assigned dedicated support from a team of caseworkers, who work with schools and colleges to assess what support is needed and implement mitigation plans that are right for them. A bespoke plan is put in place to ensure that each school and college receives the support that suits its circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Where some short-term disruption is inevitable, all available measures will be taken to minimise disruption to teaching and return pupils to face-to-face teaching as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>As all cases are different and the support each school or college receive is bespoke, identifying the number of pupils affected is not reflective of the reality for affected cases.</p>

answer text <p>The National Implementation Board was established to advise, support, and challenge the department on its delivery of children’s social care reform. It is made up of individuals with expertise in leading transformational change and direct experience of the children’s social care system. Its membership can be found online here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childrens-social-care-national-implementation-board/list-of-members-childrens-social-care-national-implementation-board" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childrens-social-care-national-implementation-board/list-of-members-childrens-social-care-national-implementation-board</a>. The Board does not include any members from the independent care sector.</p><p>Since publication of the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, officials have engaged with stakeholders across the Children’s Social Care sector to deliver the ambitious and detailed Implementation Strategy that is needed. As part of this engagement, the Children’s Homes Association meets with officials on a fortnightly basis and has representation on an Expert Advisory Group, which was established to look at Standards of Care. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education will also be hosting a roundtable with children’s homes providers in early 2023.</p><p>The department is committed to engaging widely with those with care experience and all interested stakeholders, to help us drive the right change and scale up good practice across the country.  There will be other avenues through which people can engage with the reform programme, including consultations and a range of advisory groups. The department will share information on this in early 2023.</p>
