answer text <p>Safety is our overriding priority at Sellafield. The annual environmental monitoring and dose assessment reports from Sellafield Ltd and the annual Radioactivity in Food and the Environment (RIFE) reports produced by the environmental regulators (including the Scottish Environment Protection Agency) provide comprehensive assessments of the impacts of discharges from the Sellafield site to the environment.</p><p> </p><p>The RIFE report for 2022 shows that total radioactive discharges from Sellafield decreased in 2022 as compared to 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Their assessments are based on the extensive environmental monitoring programmes conducted by the operators and regulators and both programmes are conclusive that the environmental impacts of the Sellafield site are within legal limits. This work is subject to independent scrutiny through the Department of Health and Social Care Committee on the Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment Contaminations working group and the West Cumbria Sites Stakeholder Group.</p>

answer text <p>The Royal Holloway University’s report has rightly recognised that the Covid-19 pandemic has created an incredibly challenging working environment for prison staff. Ensuring that all staff that work in our prisons are well supported and able to thrive at work has long been, and remains, a high priority for the Ministry of Justice and HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS).</p><p>On 21 March 2021, the Government published its COVID-19 mental health and wellbeing recovery action plan, which sets out a range of ambitious policies that seek to address the mental health impacts linked to the pandemic felt across all sections of society. Within the plan, HMPPS outlined some new interventions and services it has put in place to support staff. This includes increasing access to proactive support from qualified counsellors to help staff recognise and address any adverse wellbeing or mental ill health effects due to the challenges of their role during the pandemic.</p><p>We have also trained over 1000 Mental Health Allies across HMPPS who provide peer support at a local level and maintained access to a 24-hour confidential counselling helpline.</p>

answer text <p>The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) published data on the number of applicants placed by 1 September 2017. Note that UCAS data covers applications to full-time undergraduate courses only.</p><p>Data for the 2017 cycle is available here:</p><p><a href="https://www.ucas.com/corporate/data-and-analysis/ucas-undergraduate-releases/statistical-releases-daily-clearing-analysis-2017" target="_blank">https://www.ucas.com/corporate/data-and-analysis/ucas-undergraduate-releases/statistical-releases-daily-clearing-analysis-2017</a>.</p><p>Figures on the number of placed applicants by tariff group are in table T.2 of the <em>Tariff group (All domiciles)</em> file:</p><p><a href="https://www.ucas.com/file/123556/download?token=r4RoBQ1A" target="_blank">https://www.ucas.com/file/123556/download?token=r4RoBQ1A</a>.</p><p>Figures on the number of placed applicants by age for English domiciled students are in table C.4 of the <em>Age</em> file:</p><p><a href="https://www.ucas.com/file/123436/download?token=K7VwwP9m" target="_blank">https://www.ucas.com/file/123436/download?token=K7VwwP9m</a>.</p><p>Figures on the number of placed EU applicants (excluding the UK) are in table B.17 of the <em>Country (All domiciles)</em> file:</p><p><a href="https://www.ucas.com/file/123431/download?token=nDwyyVKs" target="_blank">https://www.ucas.com/file/123431/download?token=nDwyyVKs</a>.</p><p>We have provided guidance to the Director for Fair Access in 2016 and asked him to encourage institutions to make more effort in the area of recruiting more mature learners and this is reflected in guidance to institutions on access agreements. We are removing barriers to the growth of accelerated courses, which particularly appeal to mature students.</p><p> </p><p>EU students make an important contribution to our universities and we want that to continue. To help provide certainty for EU students as we exit the EU, the Government has confirmed that EU students starting their courses in the academic year 18/19 or before will continue to be eligible for student loans and home fee status and will have a right to remain in the UK to complete their course. While it is disappointing to see the fall in EU numbers in the UCAS data, we welcome the rise in the number of 18 year olds from non-EU countries applying to study in the UK. This highlights that the UK is highly competitive in the global mobile student market, second only to the US in the number of international students we attract.</p>
