answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The reformed GCSEs are a culmination of a programme of curriculum and qualification reforms since 2011, involving consultation with subject experts, higher education institutions and teachers. These qualifications will better prepare students for further study or employment and are in line with standards in other countries with high performing education systems.</p><p>Exams are, by their very nature, stressful but this government has already taken steps to reduce the examination burden upon young people. At GCSE for example, exams are now linear with examinations only taking place at the end of the course of study, giving pupils at least two full years of study to better prepare before they sit external exams. We have also removed the incentives for multiple resits that were not helping children’s education.</p><p>Schools are responsible for preparing all young people for examinations and should have strong pastoral support in place to help pupils deal with any worries they might have throughout the year.</p><p>GCSE grading is a matter for Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. I have asked its Chief Regulator, Sally Collier, to write directly to the right/hon. Member and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 25/06/2018 14:41:23 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>In recognition of the challenges posed by trespass on the railway a Trespass Improvement Programme was initiated in January 2018, drawing together representatives from across the industry. It aims to find ways to tackle trespass in a long-lasting and sustainable way, but with a particular focus on trespass by young people. It intends to learn from other work in the rail sector around, for example, suicide prevention in working with parties outside rail. Specific strands of work include public awareness campaigns, the role of technology, sharing of good practice between different routes, and approaches to the use of physical barrier to address trespass.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 26/06/2018 10:50:13 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone previous answer version 65566 answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The need to pay men and women equally for the same work has been required by statute for nearly 50 years, and we expect employers in the private sector to comply with equal pay law.</p><p>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has a Statutory Code of Practice on Equal Pay, and provides extensive advice guidance on its website to ensure employers know what is required to comply with the law. The EHRC and the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) also provide guidance to help individuals understand their rights and take action if they believe that they are being discriminated against in the pay they receive.</p><p>Employees who are concerned that they may not be being paid fairly can seek authoritative and free advice from Acas, before deciding whether to bring a claim before an Employment Tribunal. Where an employer is found to have breached equal pay law, an Employment Tribunal can order it to carry out an equal pay audit.</p><p>Our requirement for all larger employers to publish their gender pay gap is helping to increase transparency of all the factors underlying the endemic differences in pay between men and women.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/06/2018 12:39:36 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
