tabling member constituency	Leeds North West
tabling member printed	Alex Sobel
uin	135358
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Education (DfE) has funded the Autism Education Trust (AET) since 2011 to deliver autism awareness training for early years, school and post-16 education staff. To date, the AET has provided training for more than 150,000 education staff. The training is available for all those who work in schools, not just teachers. The AET has also published national autism standards for educational settings and a competency framework for those working with children and young people with autism. We have recently confirmed a two-year extension to the contract with the AET worth £1.45 million.</p><p>We have provided funding to a range of organisations leading on different kinds of SEND to develop resources and training to equip the school workforce, including on autism. A SEND review tool to help schools identify priorities and build school-to-school approaches to improvement is now available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/commissioning-a-send-review" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/commissioning-a-send-review</a>. This is supported by a number of tools to address any weaknesses identified by a review, available at <a href="http://www.sendgateway.org.uk" target="_blank">www.sendgateway.org.uk</a>. We will shortly be awarding a two-year contract to provide strategic support to the workforce in mainstream and special schools, from foundation stage to sixth form, to deliver high quality teaching across all types of SEND.</p><p> </p><p>Schools also have a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments for pupils who are disabled, which would include those on the autistic spectrum, and to ensure that disabled pupils are not at a substantial disadvantage compared with their peers. This duty is anticipatory, it requires thought to be given in advance to what disabled children and young people may require and what adjustments might be needed to prevent that disadvantage.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/04/2018 16:46:10 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>Egypt is a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Human Rights Priority Country and the UK regularly raises concerns about human rights with the Egyptian Government. We are concerned by the increasing restrictions on civil society. The Foreign Secretary issued a statement (available on gov.uk) in response to President Sisi's ratification of the restrictive Non-Government Organisation Law in May 2017. The Foreign Secretary also raised human rights concerns with President Sisi during his visit to Cairo in February of that year. This included emphasising the importance of a free and open society. We will continue to monitor the human rights situation in Egypt, and to urge the Government to ensure the full observance of the rights and freedoms contained in the Egyptian Constitution.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/04/2018 14:24:05 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
