answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) launched its strategy in May 2021 to ensure that its regulation is relevant to the way care is now delivered and to be more flexible and effective at managing risk and uncertainty. The CQC is developing a single assessment framework for its judgements on quality to gather relevant data and use innovative analysis techniques and professional judgement to support regular and consistent decision-making. In addition, the CQC will use new duties under the Health and Care Act 2022 to assess each local integrated care system (ICS) and whether local authorities are delivering the duties under the Care Act 2014. The single assessment framework aims to ensure an integrated approach to regulation across providers, ICSs and local authorities.</p><p>The CQC has engaged with trade unions and staff on the proposed changes since June 2021 and is discussing plans to support staff through the transition period. The Department holds quarterly accountability meetings with the CQC and officials have held further meetings with the CQC where the regulatory model has been discussed. The CQC is reviewing further improvements to respond to feedback received, including from its staff and consulting with internal and external stakeholders on the Terms of Reference for this review. The CQC will publish the conclusions of this review in due course.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien grouped question UIN 61216 61217 61218 61219 61221 61222 question first answered 25/10/2022 08:54:46 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2021 answer text <p>In January 2021, local authorities reported placing 4,555 children and young people with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans in mainstream independent schools and 17,839 in independent special schools (5.2% of EHC plans). There are 610 independent special schools currently registered with my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, representing 36% of special schools. 65% were rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ following inspection.</p><p>Local authorities are responsible for determining where children and young people with EHC plans should be educated. Decisions are informed by whether a school is suitable for the age, aptitude and needs of an individual, and compatible with the efficient use of resources. The local authority is responsible for monitoring the placement (for example through the annual review of the EHC plan), to ensure the provision continues to meet the child or young person’s needs.</p><p>In order to comply with the Independent School Standards, an independent school must take into account the ages, aptitudes and needs of all pupils, including those with an EHC plan, ensuring all pupils have the opportunity to learn and make progress. Where independent schools are identified as not meeting the required education or boarding standards, the Department for Education, as the independent school regulator, may take regulatory or enforcement action to require independent schools to improve within specified time constraints.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 29/10/2021 13:49:09 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
