	question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the extent to which the initial teacher training core content and early careers frameworks prioritise adaptive teaching for children with special educational needs and disability in accordance with individual need.
	tabling member printed	Lord Addington
	type	WrittenParliamentaryQuestion
	uin	HL7818
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2023 answer text <p>The Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Core Content Framework (CCF) has been designed with the knowledge that the quality of teaching is the most important factor in improving outcomes for pupils, particularly for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with additional needs. Careful consideration has been given to the needs of trainee teachers in relation to supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and the Early Career Framework (ECF) builds on that learning for early career teachers (ECTs). These reforms support the department’s ambition that all new teachers starting in the profession learn how to meet the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND.</p><p>Both the CCF and the ECF outline what trainee and new teachers should learn, and should learn how to do, in respect of adaptive teaching. The CCF sets out a minimum entitlement for trainee teachers and places a duty on ITT providers and their partner schools to meet this entitlement through incorporating the CCF into their course curricula. Courses must be designed so that trainee teachers can demonstrate that they meet the Teachers’ Standards at the appropriate level. This includes the requirement in Standard 5 that all teachers must have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND. To be recommended by an accredited provider for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), trainees must demonstrate that they meet the Teachers’ Standards at the appropriate level. To pass statutory teacher induction, ECTs must demonstrate that they meet the Teachers' Standards through a formal assessment, signed off by their head teacher and independently checked by their appropriate body.</p><p>The department is exploring opportunities to build teacher expertise through a review of the CCF and ECF frameworks. Aiming to conclude by the end of 2023, the review will identify how the frameworks can equip new teachers to be more confident in meeting the needs of children and young people with SEND.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 26/05/2023 13:54:51 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2023 answer text <p>In 2021 the General Medical Council reported that there were 178,173 doctors registered with them who are licenced to practice in the United Kingdom and whose primary medical qualification was from the UK. This data though does not identify if those doctors are practicing at a given point in time. However, the data will include doctors working in the National Health Service as well as those working for private providers across the UK.</p><p>Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development data reported that in 2020, around 13,400 UK trained doctors were reported as practicing in foreign countries. There are likely more than this because it excludes countries such as the United States of America who have not returned data in recent years.</p><p>The Department does not hold data on UK trained doctors who are leaving the NHS before pension age.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 26/05/2023 13:51:09 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
