All parents have a legal duty to ensure that if their child is of compulsory school age that they receive a full time education, either by attendance at school or otherwise.<\/p>
Schools should continually monitor pupils\u2019 absence. If a child\u2019s absence reaches a level of concern, the school should raise this with the parents and the local authority in the best interest of the child\u2019s education. School and local authorities should consider the individual circumstances of each case and take the appropriate course of action to ensure the child receives consistent education. This can include the use a range of parental responsibility measures to provide support or sanctions to parents when their child\u2019s attendance at school becomes a problem.<\/p>
Schools also receive pupil premium funding to support pupils who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years, and have the flexibility to use it to improve attendance if this is deemed a priority.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department wants all children and young people, regardless of special educational need or disability, to receive the right support to succeed in their education. and as they move into adult life. In 2014, the Department introduced significant reforms to enable schools to put the right support in place for those pupils so that they can attend school.<\/p>
The Department has established a new Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) stakeholder group, chaired by the noble Baroness Whitaker. This group aims to ensure that any efforts to improve the school system take into account GRT pupils\u2019 needs.<\/p>"}

The government is committed to phasing out installation of fossil fuel heating in buildings not connected to the gas grid during the 2020s. As announced by the Chancellor in the Spring Statement, Government also intends to introduce a Future Homes Standard by 2025, for new build homes to be future-proofed with low carbon heating and world-leading levels of energy efficiency.<\/p>"}

The recording of ethnicity is the responsibility of the individual to input via employee self-service. Due to small numbers of staff at each of the requested grades, we have grouped these together in our response below.<\/p>
<\/p>
Including those on temporary promotion at the grades requested, there are 16 members of staff in scope. Of these, only five have input their ethnicity details onto the HR system. Of these, none have self-identified as being from an ethnic minority background.<\/p>
<\/p>
AGO supports the Civil Service vision of being recognised as the UK\u2019s most inclusive employer. AGO has two diversity champions and a Diversity & Inclusion Strategy in place that is reviewed by the Executive Board every six months.<\/p>
<\/p>
AGO is an employer which promotes equality and aims to reflect the diversity of the society in which we live. It is committed to maximising the skills and potential of all its staff. It welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons irrespective of disability, ethnic origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status or religion/belief.

The table below shows the ethnicity recorded for the Department's staff as of 30 June 2019 at Grade 7, Grade 5 (Deputy Director) and at the Senior Civil Service level (SCS) which includes both Grade 5, and 3 (Director General). We can not provide a breakdown at Grade 3 as the number of ethnic minority SCS at the grade requested would be too small for us to release. It should also be noted that the overall ethnic minority population at MHCLG is 20.8 per cent, with 77.4 per cent of staff declaring their ethnicity on the Department's HR system<\/p>
