answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2023 answer text <p>Every student death is a tragedy. Where a student’s death is investigated by the coroner, it may be appropriate for the higher education provider to have “interested person” status in the investigation and, where this is the case, would be provided with the Record of Inquest which includes the cause of death. Inquest hearings are public and open for anyone to attend.</p><p>In addition, coroners have a statutory duty to issue a report to prevent future deaths (a PFD report) where they consider that an investigation has identified circumstances which should be addressed to prevent or reduce the risk of future deaths. The report must be made to a person or organisation whom the coroner believes could have the power to take action, which may include higher education providers, and recipients are obliged by law to respond.</p><p>As coroners are independent judicial office holders, the way in which they conduct their investigations is entirely a matter for them. It would therefore be inappropriate to impose a duty on them to provide information to higher education providers in relation to individual student suicide cases. Moreover, coronial investigations are limited fact-finding exercises, and it cannot be guaranteed that consistent and comprehensive information on a deceased person’s background will be made available to the coroner in every case.</p><p>The Government expects all higher education providers to take suicide prevention very seriously, providing information with place for students to find help, actively identifying students at risk, and intervening with swift support when needed. Where a tragedy does occur, this must be treated with the utmost sensitivity by a provider. This approach to suicide prevention is set out in the <a href="https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/what-we-do/policy-and-research/publications/suicide-safer-universities" target="_blank">Suicide Safer Universities</a> framework, led by Universities UK and Papyrus and supported by Government. Supporting mental health and ensuring action is taken to prevent future tragedies is a high priority for Government. That is why we have targeted funding at mental health support measure including, partnerships between higher education providers and NHS services to provide better pathways of care for university students.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 27/03/2023 16:49:17 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2023 answer text <p>We want to see more trees in our urban spaces, not less, and that is why we have legislated a statutory tree and woodland target to increase tree canopy and woodland cover of England to 16.5% by 2050. This includes individual trees outside woodlands. The Environment Act requires new developments and infrastructure projects to achieve at least a 10% measurable biodiversity net gain ensuring that nature will be retained and enhanced in the built environment. This year (2022/23) £5.4 million has been made available through the Local Authority Treescapes Fund to support the planting and maintenance of trees in urban areas. It is for the local planning authority to consider any development proposals on their individual merits and to decide on the appropriate route to granting planning permission where that is required.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 27/03/2023 13:50:25 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2023 answer text <p>The government is committed to protecting our valuable street trees. The government requirement for local authorities to consult the public when they fell street trees will come into force later this year. We will be issuing guidance on the duty to consult later this year. The consultation process will increase transparency in decision making and allow the public to be consulted before a street tree is felled. In December 2022 we published best practice guidance for local authorities to produce their own local tree and woodland strategies, supporting local authorities to expand, manage and protect local treescapes. The Local Authority Tree and Woodland Strategy Toolkit provides step-by-step guidance to develop an effective trees and woodland strategy to realise the multiple benefits trees can deliver to communities. We want to see more trees close to where people live. Defra supports LAs tree planting activity through access to several of the Nature for Climate Fund Grant schemes, such as the Local Authority Treescape Fund, Urban Tree Challenge Fund, Woodland Creation Accelerator Fund and the England Woodland Creation Offer.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 27/03/2023 13:55:58 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
