	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The law is clear that a pupil’s name can only be deleted from the admission register on the grounds prescribed in regulation 8 of the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006, as amended. Where a school issues an exclusion, there is a formal process that must be followed. ‘Unofficial’ or ‘informal’ exclusions, such as sending pupils home to ‘cool off’, are unlawful regardless of whether they are done with the agreement of parents or carers and regardless of the age of the pupil. Any exclusion of a pupil, even for short periods of time, must be formally recorded.</p><p> </p><p>Schools can only exclude pupils, either permanently or for a fixed period, for disciplinary reasons, and the Department supports schools in using exclusion where this is warranted. No teacher goes into education to exclude pupils. Permanent exclusion should only be used as a last resort, in response to a serious breach or persistent breaches of the school's behaviour policy and where allowing the pupil to remain in school would seriously harm the education or welfare of the pupil or others in the school.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/04/2019 15:12:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>All Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses must enable their trainees to demonstrate that they meet the Teachers' Standards (2011). It is for ITT providers to use their professional judgement to determine the content and structure of their courses.</p><p>To support ITT providers to do this, the Department published the Framework of Core Content for ITT in 2016 and it is still in place. In the Recruitment and Retention Strategy, published in January 2019, the Department committed to reviewing ITT core content guidance using the Early Career Framework as our starting point. This will ensure that ITT complements and builds towards the Early Career Framework and together they will provide the foundations of a successful and rewarding career.</p><p>Ofsted is responsible for testing the quality of ITT and it assesses how providers use the Framework as part of ITT inspections. At their most recent inspection, 99% of all ITT providers were rated good or outstanding.[1] Officials are working closely with Ofsted on the development of its new ITT inspection guidance, to ensure that providers’ use of the framework remains crucial to judgements about ITT quality.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-education-inspections-and-outcomes-as-at-30-june-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-education-inspections-and-outcomes-as-at-30-june-2018</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/04/2019 15:38:39 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The guidance issued to local authorities about education, health and care (EHC) needs assessments for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including autism, is as specified in the SEND Code of Practice: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25</a>.</p><p>Where a local authority decides not to conduct an EHC needs assessment, it must inform the child’s parents or the young person of their right to appeal that decision and the time limit for doing so, of the requirement for them to consider mediation should they wish to appeal, and ensure the availability of information, advice and support and disagreement resolution services. The local authority should also provide feedback collected during the process of considering whether an EHC needs assessment is necessary, including evidence from professionals, which the parent, young person, early years provider, school or post-16 institution may find useful.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/04/2019 15:26:28 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
