answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The primary responsibility for ensuring continuity in the provision of adult social care – and for supporting providers to take the necessary steps to prepare for European Union exit on 31 October - lies with local authorities. The Government recognises the additional pressure that EU exit could place on providers and local authorities. That is why we have taken steps, nationally, to ensure all registered providers have the advice and support they need to make their preparations.</p><p>We are working closely with the Care Providers Alliance, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and the Care Quality Commission to support local authorities and care providers to ensure that contingency plans are in place and are as robust as possible, including through regular monitoring of local-level intelligence. We are strengthening further our communication to providers and local authorities about the preparations they need to make. We are also assessing the robustness of the supply chain for non-clinical consumables for the adult social care sector to identify and enable us to act on any particular weaknesses.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 291528 question first answered 02/10/2019 15:57:18 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/10/2019 answer text <p>Topics related to climate change and the environment are included in both the science and geography curricula and qualifications.</p><p>In primary science and geography, pupils are taught about the seasons, climate, and habitats of plants and animals. For example, they will look at how environments can change as a result of human actions. In secondary science pupils are taught more about the climate and environment, including about the production of carbon dioxide by human activity and the effect that this has on the climate. This is expanded on in GCSE science where pupils will consider the evidence for additional anthropogenic causes of climate change. As part of GCSE geography pupils will look at the causes, consequences of and responses to extreme weather conditions and natural weather hazards.</p><p>In 2017, the Department introduced a new environmental science A level. This will enable students to study topics that will support their understanding of climate change and how it can be tackled.</p><p>The Department is also funding the Children and Nature Programme, a £10m programme that aims to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds to have better access to the natural environment. This includes studying about nature and how to care for the natural environment.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/10/2019 09:19:49 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
