As a priority, the Federal Government of Somalia must maintain momentum in developing and implementing a plan for transitioning security responsibility from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to Somali-led forces. They must also deliver widespread, sustainable reform of the security sector, in line with the commitments made at the 2017 London Somalia Conference. Coordinated international support to these efforts is vital, and the UK is playing a leading role.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 13/11/2018 15:27:36 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The Pupil and Parent Carer Omnibus Survey between July and August 2018 includes questions on the provision of sanitary products for girls in schools. The results of this survey will be published shortly.</p><p> </p><p>The government has put in place a series of arrangements to support girls in school who are menstruating. For example, the current statutory guidance for Sex and Relationships Education encourages schools to make arrangements to help girls cope with menstruation, including requests for sanitary protection.</p><p> </p><p>We are now making Relationships Education compulsory in all primary schools, Relationships and Sex Education compulsory in all secondary schools and Health Education compulsory in all primary and secondary state-funded schools. We are currently consulting on the draft guidance for these subjects which reiterates that schools should make arrangements to help girls cope with menstruation and sets out that puberty should be covered before onset as part of Health Education.</p><p> </p><p>Schools have discretion over how they use their funding and can make sanitary products available if they identify this as a barrier to attendance.</p><p> </p><p>As a government, we are also providing over £1.6 million through the Tampon Tax Fund for a project distributing sanitary products to vulnerable young women and girls in need in England.</p><p> </p><p>In 2014, the government introduced a new duty on schools to support pupils with medical conditions and has published statutory guidance on this for schools and others to follow. This guidance can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-pupils-at-school-with-medical-conditions--3" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-pupils-at-school-with-medical-conditions--3</a>.</p><p> </p><p>This guidance does not specify which medical conditions should be supported in schools. Instead, it focuses on the needs of each individual child and how their medical condition impacts on school life. It is clear that pupils at school with medical conditions should be properly supported so that they have full access to education.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/10/2018 08:55:48 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
