	question text	Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made in ensuring that those going through Initial Teacher Training have received adequate training on dealing with pupils with Special Educational Needs.
	tabling member printed	Lord Addington
	uin	HL156
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2017 answer text <p>We believe that all children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) should be supported in schools, so they achieve well in their early years, at school and in college.</p><p>The Government does not prescribe the content of initial teacher training (ITT) courses. It is for ITT providers to use their professional judgement to determine the content and structure of courses, but they must be designed so that teacher trainees can demonstrate that they meet all of the Teachers' Standards at the appropriate level.</p><p>The Standards set out the key elements of effective teaching and the minimum expectations for the professional practice and conduct of teachers. In order to be awarded Qualified Teacher Status, trainees must satisfy the Teachers’ Standards which include a requirement that they have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs (SEN) and are able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them. ‘A Framework of core content for Initial Teacher Training’, published in July 2016 states that providers should ensure special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) training is integrated across the ITT programme.

	tabling member printed	Lord Addington
	uin	HL7384
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>Apprenticeships are jobs with training. As an apprentice is paid by their employer, they cannot access the student support package, which includes the Disabled Students Allowance.</p><p>Apprentices with disabilities can apply for Access to Work funding for adjustments to the workplace. Training providers can use this to support the apprentice’s learning. Adjustments will depend on the individual and the qualification, but may include extra time, assistive technology, use of a scribe etc.</p><p>Under the Equality Act (2010), employers and training providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments for their employees and students. These same duties apply for apprentices, including degree apprentices.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 25/04/2016 12:14:26 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
