answer text <p>The UK shares the concerns of France and the United States about continuing reports of chemical weapons use by the Syrian regime. UK officials are in regular contact with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, whose experts are investigating the allegations of chemical weapon use in Eastern Ghouta, alongside a number of other incidents in the past two years. The British Government has made clear that it condemns the use of chemical weapons by anyone anywhere and that those who use chemical weapons should be held to account.</p><p>There are no current plans for military action against the Asad regime. UK efforts are focused on using every lever to de-escalate the conflict in Syria and ultimately to achieve a political settlement.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Officials from the Department for Education (DfE), Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England (NHSE) are working together closely to implement the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) reforms underpinned by the Children and Families Act 2014.</p><p> </p><p>We are addressing the finding on access to therapy services through follow up by DfE and NHSE officials with the individual local areas following the publication of an inspection report. This is particularly the case where Ofsted and CQC have required a local area to produce a written statement of action to address weaknesses.</p><p> </p><p>We are about to launch a two-year national trial looking at extending the powers of the First-tier Tribunal (SEND) to make non-binding recommendations on the health and social care aspects of Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans. Currently the First-tier Tribunal (SEND) hears appeals with regard to education only. Health and social care aspects of EHC plans are resolved through separate complaint routes. The trial will give the Tribunal the power to consider all parts of a child’s EHC plan. We are trialling this (following an earlier small-scale pilot) as we need to gather further evidence to understand whether the new appeal route is easier for families, the impact on health and social care and whether recommendations are followed. These new powers will apply to local authority decisions made and EHC plans issued or amended from 3 April 2018.</p><p> </p><p>We are working with stakeholders, which include DHSC and NHSE, through the Children’s Complex Needs board and across the Transforming Care programme to assure better support across health and care services for children and young people</p><p> </p><p>Finally, the green paper, ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision’, set out our proposals on how to improve access to mental health support for children and young people including those with SEND.</p>

answer text <p>The Green Paper team, across the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education, had discussions with over 90 professional and third sector bodies on development of the Green Paper. A list of these stakeholders is attached due to the size of the data. This includes engagement before the Green Paper’s publication and during the consultation period through national roundtables, telephone conferences for large groups of additional stakeholders, focus groups and many bilateral discussions. The teams in both the Department of Health Social Care and the Department for Education also spoke about the Green Paper and engaged with stakeholders at a number of events and conferences organised by others.</p><p>The list may not be completely exhaustive of all bodies the two Departments engaged with. For example, discussions with stakeholders also took place in the margins of events or through networking opportunities, and with various individual schools and colleges.</p> more like this
