The Department supports head teachers in using suspension and permanent exclusion as a sanction where warranted as part of creating calm, safe and supportive environments where pupils and staff can work in safety and are respected.<\/p>
Schools in England should only use permanent exclusion as a last resort.<\/p>
The Department\u2019s ministers and officials engage with counterparts in the devolved governments on a range of issues of mutual interest. Ministerial engagement includes the UK Education Ministers Council, which meets on a regular basis. Whilst my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has not had any discussions with the Department of Education in Northern Ireland on suspensions in high schools, her officials and Ministers would respond positively to any invitation from the devolved governments to discuss this issue.<\/p>

The Government encourages every provider to ensure visits can take place, recognising the crucial role of visiting in the wellbeing and care of people in hospitals and care settings.<\/p>

National guidance states that every care home resident should be able to have at least one visitor in all circumstances. We are working to review a range of options to strengthen guidance around visiting for people in care homes and avoid instances where they are unable to receive visitors.<\/p>

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. Its remit is to monitor, inspect, assess and regulate service providers to make sure they meet fundamental standards of quality and safety and publish what it finds, including performance ratings to help people choose care. Where CQC find poor care, they will use their enforcement powers.<\/p>
While CQC\u2019s remit does not extend to directly supporting providers to improve, CQC has developed a new strategy to accelerate improvement for health and social care services. CQC will use their unique position to spotlight priority areas that need to improve and enable access to support where it is needed most. CQC do this by strengthening relationships with services, people who use them, and their partners across health and care.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4527", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Whately"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Faversham and Mid Kent"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Helen Whately"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-07T16:00:43.19Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Care Homes: Standards"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve the (a) condition of and (b) quality of care in care homes.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "136609"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1582188", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1582188/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We are supporting Ukraine to respond to ongoing Russian attacks on civilian targets, including in Kherson.

We are providing humanitarian support to Kherson residents facing ongoing shelling through our funding to the UN and Red Cross Movement. This includes support to the World Food Programme and International Organisation for Migration, to provide rations, shelter kits and safe water in Kherson.

Tackling domestic abuse is a key Government priority. It is deeply harmful, not only because of the profound effect it can have on victims, survivors and their loved ones, but also because of the harm it inflicts on wider society.<\/p>
<\/p>
The importance of specialised provision, which is able to provide culturally sensitive support was clearly made in the Violence Against Women and Girls Call for Evidence which we ran in 2021.The Call for Evidence elicited an unprecedented 180,000 responses, and underpins both the National Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy and Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan.<\/p>
<\/p>
There was a clear call \u201cfor support to be tailored to specific forms of violence against women and girls or specific groups of victims and survivors (including men and boys, people from different ethnicities and LGBT people) to ensure all victims and survivors were able to access appropriate and effective support.\u201d<\/p>
<\/p>
This is why the Domestic Abuse Plan, commits to over £140 million for supporting victims of which £47 million will be ringfenced for community-based services to support victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.<\/p>
<\/p>
Furthermore, we will ensure this funding is accessible to the range of\u202forganisations and\u202fagencies\u202fworking with victims and survivors, and have sought input from the sector to support the government do this.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4816", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Derbyshire Dales"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Miss Sarah Dines"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-08T12:29:36.027Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Domestic Abuse: Victim Support Schemes"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help ensure (a) accessible and (b) culturally sensitive support is available for survivors of domestic abuse.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "136669"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1582311", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1582311/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
