They confirmed their view that priority should be given to those with a severe and profound learning disability, but recognised the issues regarding coding of learning disability on general practitioner (GP) systems and supported a practical approach of inviting everyone who is on the GP Learning Disability Register for vaccination in cohort six.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 01/03/2021 17:20:38 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>The provisions of the Children and Families Act (2014), together with the associated statutory regulations and Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice, apply to academies and free schools as well as to schools maintained by local authorities. All schools are required to use their best endeavours to identify and address the special educational needs of pupils and to apply the ‘graduated approach’ to support, which is outlined in Chapter 6 of the SEND Code of Practice, which can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Academies and free schools are inspected by Ofsted under the same framework as local authority maintained schools. The quality of education and support for pupils with SEND is taken into account by inspectors when making a judgement on the performance of a school.</p><p>The new Ofsted common inspection framework for education settings, which will be in force from September 2019, places more emphasis on the quality of SEND provision through the ‘quality of education’ judgement, with a clear focus on curriculum.</p><p> </p><p>Academies are under a duty through the Children and Families Act (2014) to co-operate with the local authority on their SEND provision. Where maintained schools and academies are acting unreasonably or unlawfully, the department has the power to direct them to put matters right, if it would be expedient to do so. The Department of Education and the Education and Skills Funding Agency have a direct role here to investigate complaints.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/07/2019 11:05:26 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
