answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2024 answer text <p>UK Sanctions legislation does not provide powers to seize frozen assets. Assets owned or controlled by a designated person are frozen immediately by the person in possession or control of them. An asset freeze does not involve a change in ownership of the frozen funds or economic resources, nor are they transferred to HM Treasury, therefore no interest has been accrued by the UK Government on frozen Russian assets.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 01/02/2024 13:20:22 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

uin	11774
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2024 answer text <p>The department aim is for all children and young people, including those who are autistic, to receive the right support to succeed in their education and as they move into adult life. The department wants all children to achieve well throughout their education, to find employment, to lead happy and fulfilled lives and to experience choice and control.</p><p>In the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan, the department set out a vision to improve mainstream education by setting standards for the early and accurate identification of need and the timely provision of access to support. The standards will clarify the types of support that should be ordinarily available in mainstream settings and who is responsible for securing the support. This will give parents confidence and clarity on how their child’s needs will be met.</p><p>As part of this, the department has committed to developing practitioner standards, which were known as practice guides in the Improvement Plan, to provide advice to education professionals. The three practitioner standards will be published by the end of 2025, one of which will be focused on autism. The department will build on existing best practice and will include guidance on how an education environment may be adapted to better support the needs of autistic pupils.</p><p>The department’s Universal Services contract brings together SEND-specific continuous professional development and support for the school and further education workforce to improve outcomes for children and young people, including those who are autistic.</p><p>The contract offers autism awareness training and resources delivered by the Autism Education Trust (AET). Over 100,000 education professionals have undertaken autism awareness training as part of AET's ‘train the trainer’ model since the Universal Services programme commenced in May 2022.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed David Johnston question first answered 01/02/2024 10:56:56 answering member 4761 label Biography information for David Johnston
