There is no legal requirement for schools to purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED), but the government encourages them to do so as part of their first aid equipment.<\/p>

AEDs are currently available for schools and other education providers in the UK to purchase through the National Health Service Supply Chain at a reduced cost. These arrangements are available to all UK schools including academies, independent schools, sixth-form colleges, further education institutions and early years settings (including holiday and out-of-school providers).<\/p>

The government has produced guidance for schools on buying, installing and using an AED, which can be viewed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/automated-external-defibrillators-aeds-in-schools<\/a>.<\/p>

The department engages regularly with the sector on policy for care leavers, including on Staying Put and funding for the scheme.<\/p>

The strategy for care leavers, \u2018Keep on Caring\u2019, was published in July 2016. It confirmed that new burdens funding would continue to be paid to local authorities through to the end of this Parliament, using the amount allocated in the period 2016 to 2017 of £22.2 million as the baseline, up-rated each year by 2% to take account of inflation.<\/p>

In the period 2017 to 2018, a further £22.85m was provided. This increased to £23.3 million in the period 2018 to 2019. This will increase again to £23.77 million in the period 2019 to 2020. Funding beyond March 2020 will be subject to the outcome of future Spending Reviews.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4113", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stratford-on-Avon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nadhim Zahawi"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-11T15:47:34.267Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-09-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Foster Care: Care Leavers"} , "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, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the level of funding for the staying put policy.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/411", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Barry Sheerman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Huddersfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Barry Sheerman"} ], "uin" : "169010"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/833937", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/833937/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The cross-government care leaver strategy \u2018Keep on Caring\u2019, published in July 2016, set out how we will support care leavers to make a successful transition from care to independence. Through the Children and Social Work Act, we are; introducing corporate parenting principles that will govern the way in which local authorities deliver services to children in care and care leavers; introducing a new duty on local authorities to consult on and publish a \u2018local offer\u2019 for care leavers; and extending support from a Personal Adviser to all care leavers to age 25.<\/p>

<\/p>

We believe, however, that central government departments, other public bodies and private and voluntary sector organisations also have a role to play in helping care leavers to make a successful transition to adulthood; and we are developing a \u2018care leaver covenant\u2019 which will provide a way for organisations from all sectors to make a commitment to offer support to care leavers.<\/p>

<\/p>

We recognise that many care leavers struggle to cope with the financial challenges of living independently at a young age and that support to meet transport costs would help care leavers to engage in education, employment and training. In developing the care leaver covenant, we will explore with the Department of Transport and private bus and rail companies the scope to secure free or discounted travel for care leavers.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4113", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stratford-on-Avon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nadhim Zahawi"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-07T17:45:54.827Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Care Leavers: Bus Services"} , "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, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of providing care leavers aged between 18 and 25 with free bus passes to help them find and maintain work.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/411", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Barry Sheerman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Huddersfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Barry Sheerman"} ], "uin" : "125695"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/832993", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/832993/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The statutory framework is clear that local authorities must ensure a placement enables a child to live with their sibling, if the sibling is also looked after. However, it is not always possible or appropriate to place sibling groups together. The child\u2019s \u2013 or children\u2019s - best interests are paramount. Where siblings cannot be placed together, contact should be actively encouraged and facilitated unless this goes against the child\u2019s best interest.<\/p>

Every child\u2019s care plan must contain information about the arrangements for promoting and maintaining contact with siblings who are not placed together.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4113", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stratford-on-Avon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nadhim Zahawi"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-06T17:15:48.68Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Foster Care"} , "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, what steps the Government is taking to ensure that sibling groups in the foster system are placed together.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/411", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Barry Sheerman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Huddersfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Barry Sheerman"} ], "uin" : "125309"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/832995", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/832995/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The National Minimum Standards for fostering services (NMS) are clear that every foster parent should receive an allowance that covers the full cost of caring for a child. The government recommends a minimum allowance that fostering service providers should pay to their foster parents each week to cover the costs involved in looking after a child or young person. It is set out as a benchmark standard in the NMS and offers some consistency in the allowances paid by local authorities.<\/p>

Whilst it is for local authorities to decide the rate paid to foster parents in their area, our strong expectation is that foster parents with a child in placement will be paid at least the national minimum allowance. We know a number of fostering service providers already base their fostering allowances on rates that are higher than those recommended by the government.<\/p>

<\/p>

The National Fostering Stocktake, an independent review of the fostering system in England, has now concluded. The department will carefully consider any recommendations made by the review and the Education Select Committee on payments to foster parents. The government response will be published in spring 2018.<\/p>
