It is up to schools to then work with parents and guardians to collect this data. As stated in the guidance (section 5.3.5) the requested information on nationality is as declared by the parent or guardian. The parent or guardian may decline to provide this information to the school without consequences. In such a case, the school would record this as \u2018refused\u2019 to meet its statutory duty to make a return.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, the Department is aware that a number of schools have not implemented the collection in accordance with the guidance. We will, therefore, work with the sector to consider how it can better support schools in collecting school census data for future rounds.<\/p>

To address any uncertainties, I have placed an information note in the House Libraries. This note has also been published on the Department\u2019s public website.<\/p>

The TRL Report \u2018PPR 796\u2019 prepared for the Parliamentary Advisory Committee on Transport Safety (PACTS) shows that Britain, rather than having a higher level of road casualties in collisions involving alcohol than other European countries, has a comparable level despite the higher limit.

In these cases no breath tests are carried out and the accident is not recorded.<\/p>
