This outlines our reform programme which seeks to: improve the quality of social work practice; create systems and environments where great social work can flourish; promote learning and multi-agency working where all involved in supporting children and families can work together; and support children who both enter and leave the care system. The reforms are designed to ensure that all vulnerable children and families receive the highest-quality care and support. We have invested over £200 million through the Innovation Programme to test and develop better practice, including testing approaches to help vulnerable children to remain safely at home.</p>

answer text <p>In relation to the identification and assessment of special education needs and disabilities (SEND) and the adjustments for GCSEs and A Levels, I refer the hon. Member for South Shields to the answer I gave on 3 May 2018 to Question <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2018-04-26/138480/" target="_blank">138480</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The framework of core content for Initial Teacher Training sets out that providers should ensure that trainees are equipped to identify the needs of all pupils, and make provision for them, including seeking the advice of colleagues with specialist knowledge and experience. Trainees should be able to recognise signs that may indicate SEND, and support common educational needs through review of their teaching, making adjustments to overcome any barriers to progress and ensuring that pupils with SEND are able to access the curriculum.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010, the department has funded the development of resources and training to ensure that the schools workforce is equipped to support pupils with specific types of SEND, including sensory impairment and development co-ordination disorder. They have produced a wealth of resources and training which are hosted on the SEND Gateway.</p><p> </p><p>Our new contract, which will be delivered by the Whole School Send Consortium, brings together schools, SEND sector organisations and experts to ensure schools are equipped to deliver high-quality teaching that supports children with all kinds of SEND.</p>

answer text <p>Sanctions are only used in a minority of cases and when people fail to meet their conditionality requirements without good reason. When considering whether a sanction is appropriate, a Decision Maker will take all the claimant’s individual circumstances, including any health conditions or disabilities and any evidence they provide, into account before deciding whether a sanction is warranted. Claimants can send paperwork and online documentation to be considered as part of this process but not submitting this is not, in itself, a reason for a sanction.</p><p> </p><p>The Department publishes quarterly statistics on Universal Credit and Jobseeker’s Allowance sanctions, including a breakdown by sanction referral reason, as part of the Benefit Sanction Statistics publication, which can be accessed at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/jobseekers-allowance-sanctions" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/jobseekers-allowance-sanctions</a></p><p> </p><p>The specific information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is committed to securing justice for all victims, both male and female, and applies policies fairly and equally. In September 2016, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) published its first ever public statement recognising the needs and experiences of male victims of offences including rape, domestic abuse, harassment, and stalking and child sexual abuse. In summer 2018, they will hold another forum with groups representing the interests of male victims to further explore the issues they face in relation to these offences.
