The Department has commissioned further research to understand what drives these attitudes and behaviours; the report will be published in due course.</p><p> </p><p>I understand the importance of conveying to drivers the message that they must not use a hand-held mobile phone while stationary in traffic and our recent consultation proposed a change to the Highway Code to make that point. THINK! will consider options for incorporating this message into future campaigns.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 26/05/2021 16:39:54 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL398
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2021 answer text <p>The Government does not collect data from schools on how many pupils are able to swim, but data from Sport England's annual Active Lives Children Survey provides the government with a national picture. Data for academic year 19/20 show that 77% of children in year 7 report they can swim 25m.</p><p> </p><p>Swimming and water safety is an important part of the primary PE curriculum. The government is committed to ensuring that all children leave primary school with vital swimming and water safety skills. The PE and sport premium can be used by primary schools to support swimming and water safety, for example through 'top-up' lessons or additional teaching training. We provide schools with the flexibility to decide how to spend their premium in line with conditions of grant and do not collect data on proportion or amount of spend for any given activity.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the PE and sport premium, schools are able to access new virtual water safety lessons from Oak National Academy and the Department will be supporting the Royal Life Saving Society UK's Drowning Prevention Week in June 2021. The government has provided an additional £10.1m to improve use of school sport facilities, including swimming pools. New resources to support children with SEND learning to swim and knowing how to be safe in and around the water have been developed through the Inclusion 2020 grant, which is led by the Youth Sport Trust. These resources are available on Swim England's inclusion hub.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 26/05/2021 14:41:29 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
