uin	189627
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The healthy pupils capital fund (HPCF) is a one year fund of £100 million in 2018-19.</p><p>Existing mechanisms for school condition funding have been used to allocate and monitor the HPCF. Local authorities and large multi-academy trusts have received an allocation from the HPCF (£62 million). The funding can only be used for capital projects and responsible bodies are required to report on how they have spent their HPCF in the same way they report on, and alongside, their school condition allocation.</p><p>Single and small academy trusts and sixth-form colleges were able to bid for a share of £38 million of the HPCF through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) 2018 to 2019. All responsible bodies are required to sign up to terms and conditions which state that funding can only be spent on what was applied for before the first payment is released. Once underway, all CIF projects are required to submit regular monitoring reports to the Department for Education. At the end of the project, a final completion certificate is required before the final payment is released.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/11/2018 16:45:41 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

uin	189630
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Local authorities, working with schools and other partners, are required by the Children and Families Act (2014) to set out a local offer of the support normally available to children and families affected by a disability and special educational needs (SEN).</p><p>Schools are also required under the act and the accompanying Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice to identify and address the SEN of the pupils or students they support. We expect schools to be monitoring closely the progress of all pupils. The first response when any child is falling behind is good quality teaching. When this does not produce expected progress, the school should consider whether the child has a learning difficulty. The school should assess the child, plan an intervention if a learning difficulty is identified, implement the intervention and then review the outcome and progressively repeat this cycle until the child’s learning difficulty is properly supported. This is called SEN support and the cyclical process is referred to as a ‘graduated approach’ to meeting children’s needs. Where children and young people have needs that can’t be met through this process, they could get support through an Education, Health and Care plan.</p><p>We have in place training and specific resources designed to provide teachers with the necessary skills to identify and support children with dyslexia.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/11/2018 17:47:11 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
