answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2020 answer text <p>We recognise that outdoor education can be beneficial for the health and wellbeing of children and young people, and that outdoor space offers additional benefits to allow for distance between people during the coronavirus outbreak. Our guidance to help schools and other education settings prepare for wider opening to more pupils from 1 June, explicitly encourages the use of outdoor space and outdoor education where possible. In particular, we are asking schools to consider which lessons or activities could take place outdoors as part of a range of approaches they can take to help reduce transmission. We are also asking schools to use their outside space for exercise and breaks.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 29/05/2020 13:46:49 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2020 answer text <p>The Government recognises that this is an extremely challenging time for staff in school and care settings.</p><p>In the current circumstances, it is right that routine Ofsted inspections in the school, further education, early years, local authority, and care sectors are suspended. Ofsted retains the power to inspect in all these areas and will use its powers if it has significant concerns. Ofsted also continues to register and regulate children’s social care, childminding and nurseries.</p><p>No date has been set for a return to routine inspection at this time. We will continue to work closely with HM Chief Inspector, and the sectors Ofsted inspects, in determining when it will be appropriate to re-start routine inspections.</p><p>We continue to keep the situation under review and will keep Parliament updated accordingly.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 29/05/2020 13:47:24 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge
