The government keeps the legal framework for academies under review to ensure that it remains fit for purpose. The department also engages with stakeholders and listens to proposals from them to improve its effectiveness.<\/p>

The department introduced revised versions of the academies model funding agreement in March 2018 and has recently published revised model articles of association for Church of England and Catholic academies.<\/p>

In addition, each year, the government reviews the Academies Financial Handbook and the Academies Accounts Direction to ensure that the guidance remains relevant and fit for purpose. This is also an opportunity to respond to criticism such as a lack of disclosure on Related Party Transaction, where from 1 April 2019, the requirements are being substantially amended.<\/p>

The Academies Financial Handbook and the Academies Accounts Direction, the Academies Articles of Association for Catholic Academies are attached. The academies model funding agreement, as well as the minority and majority Articles of Association for Church of England Academies will be deposited in the Libraries of both Houses.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4689", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Agnew of Oulton"} , "attachment" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1087591/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Academies_Financial_Handbook_2018.pdf"} , "title" : "Academies_Financial_Handbook_2018"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1087591/answer/attachment/2", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Academies_Accounts_Direction_2017_to_2018.pdf"} , "title" : "Academies_Accounts_Direction_2017_to_2018"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1087591/answer/attachment/3", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Model_three_catholic_articles_revised_version.pdf"} , "title" : "Model_three_catholic_articles_revised_version"} ], "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-26T18:01:53.137Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-03-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Academies"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made with the commitment in the Educational Excellence Everywhere White Paper (Cm 9320), published in March 2016, that \"we will engage MATs, sponsors, academies, dioceses and the wider schools sector to ensure that the legal framework for academies is fit for the long term\".", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1241", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Watson of Invergowrie"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Watson of Invergowrie"} ], "uin" : "HL14504"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"} }
