While higher education institutions have autonomy over admissions, the vast majority of undergraduate applications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are handled by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) on behalf of those institutions. As the shared admissions service, UCAS offers support to universities and colleges in this area through their services. It is also in institutions\u2019 interests to keep accurate and transparent records of applications and admission. The Office for Students, as the independent regulator of higher education, also has a legal responsibility to ensure that registered institutions are acting in the best interests of students, including support in access to higher education.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4169", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Viscount Younger of Leckie"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-06T13:52:14.643Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Higher Education: Correspondence"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 20 February (HL13570), what regulations are in place to ensure that Higher Education institutions maintain high standards of accuracy and transparency in correspondence with external stakeholders, especially correspondence relating to offers for study on a deferred basis.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL13960"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1077037", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1077037/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

No assessment has been made of the practice of National Health Service trusts using non-disclosure agreements in cases of bullying and harassment affecting staff members.<\/p>
Any clause in a settlement agreement or contract of employment which purports to prevent a member of staff from a making a protected disclosure would have no legal effect. Such clauses are often referred to as \u2018gagging\u2019 clauses and have no place in the NHS. No organisation can to put such a provision in a settlement agreement or employment contract.<\/p>
Since 2013, all agreements where confidentiality clauses are used, also require the inclusion of a clause which makes it crystal clear to the parties concerned, that regardless of what other clauses are used in the agreement, an individual will always be able to make a protected disclosure in the public interest and/or raise concerns about patient safety and care in accordance with their professional and ethical obligations.<\/p>

The Plan states that \u201cTo make the NHS a consistently great place to work, we will seek to shape a modern employment culture for the NHS \u2013 promoting flexibility, wellbeing and career development, and redoubling our efforts to address discrimination, violence and bullying and harassment\u201d.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4019", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-11T16:54:03.893Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS: Bullying"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the practice of NHS trusts of using non-disclosure agreements in cases of bullying and harassment affecting staff members.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4181", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Beecham"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Beecham"} ], "uin" : "HL13967"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1077046", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1077046/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy which sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. Already, this has provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff\u2013 this means there are more people in warm beds tonight as direct result of government funding.<\/p>
In all, the Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period. Since the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 was enacted on 3rd<\/sup> April 2018 local authorities have been allocated £346 million.

Statistics are released on a quarterly basis. The expenditure on housing matters for advice and assistance under the Legal Help scheme is located in the \u2018Main Tables\u2019 document, at table 5.3. Expenditure on housing matters for representation at court is located in table 6.5. Please note that costs in cases where legal aid was awarded, but which were recovered from the other side, are published separately at table 6.7.<\/p> <\/p> Legal aid for housing advice is available to help people with a range of housing problems, subject to statutory means and merits tests. The Legal Aid Agency frequently reviews market capacity to make sure there is adequate provision around the country, and moves quickly to ensure provision where gaps may appear. As of 1 March there is at least one provider offering housing and debt services in all but 4 procurement areas, representing over 97% coverage across England and Wales. The Legal Aid Agency has opened a further tender to secure provision in the remaining areas. Irrespective of location in England and Wales, legal advice for housing remains available through a telephone service as well.<\/p>"}
