answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2018 answer text <p>Foster parents play a vital role in supporting some of our most vulnerable children and young people. I am committed to ensuring that foster parents receive the support and recognition they need to meet the needs of the children they look after.</p><p>The National Minimum Standards for fostering services are clear that every foster parent with a child in placement should receive an allowance that covers the full cost of caring for a child. The government recommends a minimum allowance that fostering service providers should pay to their foster parents each week. Whilst it is for fostering service providers to decide the rate paid to foster parents, our strong expectation is that they will receive at least the national minimum allowance.</p><p>The National Fostering Stocktake, an independent review of the fostering system in England, has now concluded. It considered the support, recognition and status of foster parents. I will carefully consider the recommendations made by the Education Select Committee and the independent review on the recognition and support, including financial support, that foster parents receive. The government response will be published in spring 2018.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 05/02/2018 16:28:19 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

We would expect national governing bodies of sport (NGBs) to identify hearing impaired athletes through their talent pathway programmes and put a support plan in place. NGBs also work with the relevant International Federation, where necessary, to help ensure that hearing impaired athletes can compete alongside those who do not have hearing impairments.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 29/01/2018 14:12:54 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

The Government recognises the importance of maintaining pressure on the Burmese military and security forces and has played a key role supporting measures such as the EU arms embargo and suspension of all military visits. We judge that there would not be consensus within the UNSC for a global arms embargo or ICC referral at this time.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 29/01/2018 17:54:04 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
