answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>More than half a million parents have successfully opened a childcare account, and the vast majority of parents use the childcare service without issues. Since Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) was fully rolled out in February 2018, the rate of new complaints received by HMRC in relation to the childcare service has decreased substantially, while the number of users of TFC has more than trebled.</p><p> </p><p>However, it is not possible to break down complaints received about the childcare service between TFC and 30 hours free childcare complaints, as many parents receive both TFC and 30 hours free childcare.</p><p> </p><p>I refer the honorable member to my answer on 28 November 2018 (193504) <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2018-11-20/193504/" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2018-11-20/193504/</a>, which sets out that to 31 October 2018, HMRC received 4,560 complaints from parents who experienced technical issues with the childcare service.</p><p> </p><p>From 1 November 2018 to 31 March 2019, HMRC received 943 new complaints from customers in relation to TFC and 30 hours free childcare (known as Tier 1). This includes complaints due to technical issues and customer service issues.</p><p> </p><p>From 1 November 2018 to 31 March 2019, HMRC received 205 complaints from customers in relation to TFC and 30 hours free childcare where a customer was dissatisfied with our decision on their initial complaint and they have asked us to look at their concerns again (known as Tier 2).</p><p> </p><p>As set out in HMRC’s monthly reports available for the 2018-19 period at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmrc-monthly-performance-reports#reporting-year-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmrc-monthly-performance-reports#reporting-year-2018-to-2019</a>, complaints are not always logged on HMRC’s live system during the month they are received and the numbers can, therefore, be revised upwards for subsequent monthly reports. The current month will be subject to greatest revision. The information to 31 May is therefore not yet available to a robust enough standard.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/06/2019 14:06:35 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

We made an initial offer of support to 32 schools, of which 30 accepted.</p><p>The support that each ONE Vision school receives will be bespoke to their individual circumstances. It will be determined by an analysis of need comprising an External Review of Governance, undertaken by a National Leader of Governance; a Financial Health Check, undertaken by a School Resource Management Adviser; and a School Development Review, undertaken by a National Leader of Education or other high performing school leader. This analysis will identify the schools’ main priorities for improvement.</p><p>The following table shows the number of pupils in 2017/18 (a) attending all state-funded mainstream schools in the North East who are in the region’s lowest quintile of Attainment 8 scores, and (b) attending ONE Vision Schools who are within the region’s lowest quintile of Attainment 8 scores.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in lowest quintile[1] of Attainment 8 scores (state-funded mainstream schools[2])</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in One Vision schools in lowest quintile<sup>1</sup> of Attainment 8 scores (state-funded mainstream schools<sup>2</sup>)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>4,836</p></td><td><p>1,169</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The following table shows the number of pupils in 2017/18 (a) attending all state-funded schools in the North East who are within the region’s lowest quintile of capped GCSE point scores, based on their best eight entries, and (b) attending ONE Vision Schools who are within the region’s lowest quintile of capped GCSE point scores, based on their best eight entries.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in lowest quintile<sup>1</sup> of best eight entries scores (all state-funded schools)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in One Vision schools in lowest quintile<sup>1</sup> of best eight entries scores (all state-funded schools)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>4,879</p></td><td><p>1,135</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>It is a goal of the ONE Vision programme to build capacity in these 30 schools so that they are able to support other schools in the future. To ensure that the ONE Vision activity does not adversely affect schools that are not participating in the programme, we will continue to speak with local authorities and trusts as part of our monitoring activities to understand what impact ONE Vision is having on the wider community. We will also continue to monitor the performance of all schools across the region.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Quintiles are based on pupil ranking rather than school ranking.
