uin	3741
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The government has changed the law to improve how young carers and their families are identified and supported. The Children and Families Act 2014 places a duty on local authorities to identify and assess the needs of all young carers, regardless of who they care for or what type of care they provide. These provisions work alongside those for assessing adults in the Care Act 2014 so that when a young carer is identified the needs of everyone in the family is considered, triggering action from both children’s and adults’ support services.</p><p> </p><p>We funded the Making a Step Change project, which sought to identify, champion and embed best practice around effective integrated whole family pathways between voluntary and statutory sector partners.</p><p> </p><p>In May 2014, NHS England published the ‘Commitment to Carers’ which set out commitments across a range of themes to improve recognition and support for carers, including young carers. As part of NHS England’s work to support young carers, the Young Carers Health Champion Programme was established in July 2016 to support improved health literacy, promote health and wellbeing and develop the capacity of young carers to participate in the planning and development of young carer-friendly services.</p><p> </p><p>There is a wealth of resources that enable local authorities, schools and voluntary sector partners to support young carers and their families, based on evidence of what works. Carers Trust host many of these materials on their websites which can be accessed at either: <a href="http://www.thecarershub.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.thecarershub.co.uk</a> or: <a href="http://www.makingastepchange.info/" target="_blank">www.makingastepchange.info/</a>.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 18/07/2017 14:31:14 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

Any changes to the Travelcard Agreement, including the inclusion of stations within the oyster ticketing system, must be agreed between TfL and the train operators. Any proposals put forward will be considered by the Secretary of State for Transport on the basis of a business case, and other wider policy initiatives at the time.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 14/07/2017 05:51:09 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
