	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Education is working with a small network of school sector representatives to identify the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) related topics that schools face. These then form the basis of communications setting out GDPR preparation support within the context and language of the education sector.</p><p> </p><p>In July, the former Secretary of State the right hon. Member for Putney (Justine Greening) announced an additional £1.3 billion for schools over the next two years, so that total funding for the core schools budget will rise from almost £41 billion this year to £43.5 billion in 2019-20. This will mean that overall schools’ funding will be protected, in real terms per pupil, over the next two years. The introduction of the national funding formula, means that for the first time that total will be distributed based on the individual needs and characteristics of every school in the country. It is for each school to determine the use of the resources available to it, in order to raise the attainment of all its pupils, and to meet all its statutory responsibilities.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 30/01/2018 16:49:26 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

	tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
	uin	HL4781
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>Care leavers do not generally have access to the family support networks that benefit other young people. It is therefore important that local and central government provide additional support to care leavers in their role as corporate parents. The cross-government care leaver strategy - ‘Keep on Caring’ (see attached), sets out the additional support the state provides to help care leavers achieve better outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>It is important to distinguish between higher education and apprenticeships. Apprenticeships are paid jobs with training, allowing apprentices to earn while they learn. Apprentices are not required to pay for their training or assessment.</p><p> </p><p>The government is creating an apprenticeship system that is available to a wide range of people, including those with experience of care. As we continue to reform the apprenticeships system we will keep our funding for apprentices with additional needs under review.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 30/01/2018 17:00:09 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name Care-Leaver-Strategy.pdf title Keep On Caring
