We expect all colleges to continue to either access Jisc services, or to contract with an alternative provider who can provide a secure service. We have provided an additional £6 million to Jisc on top of their spending review settlement to enable the introduction of a mixed funding model to be delayed until August 2019 to enable colleges to prepare. The government will continue to contribute the majority of Jisc\u2019s costs after the introduction of a mixed funding model.

Providers which meet the following criteria will be funded nationally by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) for a period of two years (academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21) following devolution of the Adult Eudcation Budget (AEB):<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Following devolution in 2019/20 providers who currently deliver AEB provision nationally who fall outside of the above criteria for national funding will continue to receive funding for the learners residing in non devolved areas from the ESFA. It will be for the Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) to decide which providers they award funding to in their respective areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
The department is planning to devolve the AEB to MCAs and the GLA in 2019/20. We have carefully considered the case for centralised funding for specialist providers for an interim period following devolution to ensure continued support for both providers and their learners through a longer transition period. Providers who deliver residential provision have distinctly different funding arrangements, and we felt an additional period of two years of national funding would be in the learners best interests, in order to avoid destabilising provision to vulnerable learners and to allow time for MCAs to better understand the specialist nature of the provision they deliver.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne Milton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Guildford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne Milton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-21T17:33:27.307Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Adult Education: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 15 March 2018 to Question 132172, on Adult Education: Finance, for what reason it is necessary to be a residential provider to qualify for that transitional funding.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4124", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chi Onwurah"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chi Onwurah"} ], "uin" : "133046"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/865180", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/865180/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

This included that arrangements were agreed between central government and the local area, and in place to ensure that devolved funding decisions take account of the need to maintain a sustainable and financially viable post-16 provider base.

School based counselling plays a role as part of a \u2018whole school\u2019 approach to supporting mental health and wellbeing. 61% of schools offer counselling services, with 84% of secondary schools providing their pupils with access to counselling support.[1] The Government has provided advice on how to deliver school based counselling, available to view here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/counselling-in-schools<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> The Department has not made the provision of access to counselling in schools and colleges mandatory. Schools have the freedom to decide what mix of support to offer pupils based on their particular needs.<\/p> <\/p> The green paper \u2018Transforming Children and Young People\u2019s Mental Health Provision\u2019 proposed significant further guidance to schools to make these decisions. New Mental Health Support Teams will increase the provision available to pupils with emerging mental health problems. The green paper proposals offer additional funding for new professionals trained in evidence-based interventions, with supervision from expert clinicians. The teams will also provide better routes into specialist NHS services for the pupils that need them.<\/p> <\/p>
