      ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1658153/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "<p><ins class=\"ministerial\">Nothing is more important than the safety of children and staff, and it has always been the case that where the Department is made aware a building may pose an immediate risk, immediate action is taken. The Department knows how important it is for young people to be in classrooms with their friends and teachers, but their safety must come first. <\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\">The Department has been talking to schools about the potential risks of RAAC since 2018 when it first published a warning note with the Local Government Association. The Office of Government Property wrote to all Government Property Leaders in 2019, and again in September 2022, highlighting safety alerts on RAAC and signposting guidance on identification and remediation. The Government also created a cross-Government working group on RAAC this year to collectively address the issue. Since then, Departments have been surveying properties and depending on the assessment of the RAAC, decided to either continue or monitor the structure, reinforce it, or replace it. This is in line with the approach recommended by the Institution of Structural Engineers. <\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\">The Department discovered details of three new cases over the summer, where RAAC that would have been graded as non-critical had failed. The first of these was in a commercial setting. The second was in a school in a different educational jurisdiction. It was right to carefully consider the cases and scrutinise the technical details from these. Departmental technical officials were able to investigate the situation in one case where the plank that had failed was fully intact as it was resting on a steel beam after it failed. They concluded that it would previously been rated non-critical. Ministers were carefully considering the first two cases and advice from officials when a third failure of a panel occurred, at a school in late August. The Department\u2019s technical officials also visited this school to investigate the failure.<\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\">In light of all three cases, it was right to make the difficult decision to change our guidance for education settings and take a more cautious approach within the education estate in England. <\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\">Following careful analysis of these recent cases, a precautionary and proactive step has been taken to change the approach to RAAC in education settings ahead of the start of the academic year, as outlined in our guidance. <\/ins><\/p><p><ins class=\"ministerial\">Maintained nursery schools are treated the same as schools and FE colleges. In 2022, the Department\u2019s questionnaire to all responsible bodies, including those who run maintained nursery schools, asked them to provide information on RAAC.<\/ins><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">The UK higher education (HE) system is amongst the best in the world. Attracting the brightest students internationally is good for our universities and delivers growth at home.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">Domestic students continue to make up the vast majority of overall undergraduate students within UK universities. The proportion of international acceptances on results day this year was 12.3%, having been 14.7% at the same point in 2019.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">This year on A level and T level Results Day, 186,710 English-domiciled 18-year-olds were accepted to HE providers in England compared to 162,680 in 2019.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">Ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to access a world class education remains a top priority and is fundamental to the department\u2019s ambition to level-up skills, growth, and economic opportunity across the country.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">As autonomous bodies independent from the government, universities are responsible for their own recruitment decisions. Most universities have separate home and international student recruitment targets, set before the admissions cycle even begins. Universities plan their student numbers very carefully, not least because there are important implications for the provision of student support and wellbeing services, accommodation, and everything else needed to deliver the best student experience.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">The department and I regularly engage with the HE sector to support policy making and delivery and did so throughout the 2023 cycle.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">Most recently, on 7 September 2023, I attended the Universities UK annual conference and discussed how the government is supporting universities to maximise their immense economic and social impact. Key topics discussed included degree apprenticeships, the Lifelong Loan Entitlement and Horizon.<\/del><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p>"}

The site will be able to accommodate 1700 individuals when fully operational.<\/p><p>The maximum length of stay at the site is currently between six and nine months, except where the Secretary of State is unable to find suitable onward dispersed accommodation despite reasonable efforts to do so.<\/p><p>Furthermore, we have been applying the lessons learned at Napier Barracks to ensure that the Wethersfield site runs efficiently. We appreciate that there are fewer people at Napier but the principles of running a large accommodation site remain the same.<\/p><p>In addition to the checks against policing and immigration databases, at Manston, those individuals identified for the site will be subject to a suitability assessment. Guidance on the suitability criteria used can be found at <a href=\"https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fasylum-accommodation-requests-policy&amp;data=05%7C01%7CASRA-briefingcorrespondence%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C95d2c9d39b684c09428808db89dde60a%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638255358355001269%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=wDV0%2FLAR81%2FuCXs7NwArLZj%2FxosoOyzRQoffCwHAHLI%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\">Allocation of accommodation<\/a>. Each person\u2019s suitability will be assessed at regular intervals and if they are no longer suitable for any reason, they will be moved to alternative accommodation.<\/p><p>All asylum seekers in the UK may contact Migrant Help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year if they need help, advice, or guidance, that includes raising issues relating to safeguarding.<\/p><p>The asylum seekers selected to move to Wethersfield were new arrivals. These asylum seekers had been placed in short stay accommodation pending completion of the asylum registration process and an onward move to contingency accommodation to be arranged. The applicants selected were notified of the transport arrangements by the accommodation provider, and around 24 hours notice was given.<\/p><p>An Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) for Wethersfield has been completed and is currently under a routine review. The EqIA will be monitored and reviewed quarterly.<\/p><p>All the asylum seekers staying at the Wethersfield site will receive appropriate access to legal advice provisions, and legal representatives will be made available through both in-person visits and online videoconferencing. The site will facilitate pre-booked access for legal representatives to visit, including out of hours visits where required, with provision of dedicated space for in-person conversations with asylum seekers, and appropriate videoconferencing technology will also be provided on-site to facilitate virtual meetings. Migrant Help will signpost all asylum seekers to the relevant Legal Providers. Due to the virtual provisions for legal access on site, access to sufficient legal representation for Wethersfield will not be constrained by the capacity nor expertise of legal providers within the local area alone.<\/p><p>Small boat crossings are dangerous, unnecessary and put lives at risk. There have been appalling and preventable tragedies in the English Channel which must stop. We aim to deter illegal entry to the UK, break the business model of people smugglers and protect the lives of those they endanger. Migrants are intercepted by Border Force and brought to facilities in Dover to begin processing their asylum claims.<\/p><p>Full screening of people\u2019s identity, security checks, initial asylum screening and processing is undertaken at Western Jet Foil in Dover and Manston, Kent. Migrants are then moved to suitable accommodation locations as quickly as possible.<\/p><p>In terms of healthcare, extensive work has been undertaken with local and national health partners, including the Multi Agency Forum (MAF) to work through the specifics of healthcare provision being provided on the site. The health subgroup of the MAF was set up specifically to look at how we minimise the impact on local health services and facilitate primary health care on site which has now been established. Financial support is being provided to NHS Mid and South Essex, and the onsite primary health care service will register residents so that is no need to register with local GP practices.<\/p><p>Upon arrival in the UK, all individuals are offered a health check at Western Jet Foil in Dover and Manston, Kent. If necessary, healthcare practitioners at Manston administer medical care. On arrival at Manston, individuals are offered a diphtheria vaccination in line with current UKHSA recommendations in response to the outbreak in this population.<\/p><p>The Home Office has procedures in place to support individuals with potential symptoms of an infectious disease, including isolation spaces within Wethersfield and a designated isolation hotel. The Home Office receives advice and guidance where needed from the local UKHSA Health Protection Team on management of individuals and contacts with a suspected infectious disease. Anyone with symptoms of an infectious disease is made to isolate and can only enter the asylum system once assessed by doctor and deemed to be non-infectious.<\/p><p>The onsite provider has prior experience in meeting the health needs of asylum seekers.<\/p><p><strong><ins class=\"ministerial\">If you would like to put forward specific proposals, please do contact the Home Office at: <a href=\"mailto:rasiengagementhubregionalconsultation@homeoffice.gov.uk\" target=\"_blank\">rasiengagementhubregionalconsultation@homeoffice.gov.uk(opens in a new tab)(opens in a new tab)<\/a> and officials will happily discuss this in greater detail with you.<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>"}
