answer text <p>The reforms made in Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014 will improve education for all pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). These reforms will ensure that there is a focus on identifying the individual needs and aspirations of children and young people with the full involvement of their families. The Act requires joint planning and commissioning of services across education, health and social care, so that these needs can be et more effectively.</p><p>The National Autistic Society acknowledges that pathological demand avoidance is increasingly becoming recognised as part of the autism spectrum. The Department for Education continues to fund the Autism Education Trust to provide training to early years, school and further education staff on autism. We also provide grant funding to organisations including Ambitious about Autism and the National Autistic Society in order to support implementation of the reforms.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>I have not had any recent discussions with the Natural Environment Research Council regarding a new innovation programme for oil and gas and so I do not intend to write on this matter. There is good co-operation between Government and NERC, and I would anticipate that their schemes will be aligned with the aims of my Department which include the development of the UK's hydrocarbon resources.</p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p>The Woodland Carbon Code, developed by the Forestry Commission, was introduced in July 2011 following a pilot phase that began in September 2010. Subsequently, a group scheme has been launched to enable financial costs to be shared by participating schemes, alongside a shared responsibility for ensuring that Woodland Carbon Code requirements are met at all sites. In July 2013 the Code was launched on the Markit Environmental Registry to provide open and transparent project registration as well as Woodland Carbon Unit issuance, tracking and retirement. As of 31 March 2014, 202 projects covering an area of 15,401 hectares had registered with the Woodland Carbon Code, of which 67 projects had been validated.</p><p> </p> more like this
