	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to safeguarding all children and protecting them from the risk of harm and extremism, including in out-of-school settings.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister announced plans to introduce a new system of oversight for out-of-school education settings – such as supplementary schools and tuition centres – which teach children intensively, on 7 October 2015. These were confirmed in the Government’s Counter-Extremism Strategy which was published on 19 October. These plans to regulate out-of-school settings which teach children intensively were set out in the call for evidence which ran for 6 and a half weeks between 26 November and 11 January.</p><p> </p><p>We are not proposing to regulate settings teaching children for a short period every week, such as Sunday schools or the Scouts, or one-off residential activities, such as a week-long summer camp. We are looking specifically at settings providing intensive education outside school where children could be spending more than six hours a week.</p><p> </p><p>The call for evidence sought views on the appropriateness of seeking to prohibit teaching which undermines or is incompatible with fundamental British values. Now that the call for evidence has closed, we are considering carefully the responses received as we develop the proposals further.</p><p>We will be publishing our response to the call for evidence and setting out the next steps on the proposals in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 15/06/2016 12:18:41 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
