tabling member printed	Lord Lucas
uin	HL6039
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>Nothing is more important than keeping children safe and in suitable education. That is why, in September 2016, the department amended the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006, to include further duties on schools to improve the information they provide to local authorities when a child is removed from their roll. This will better enable local authorities to carry out vital enquiries to ensure children are safe from harm.</p><p> </p><p>The government has committed to reviewing the impact of the regulation changes by September 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 19/03/2018 17:36:55 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

uin	HL6040
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>The government launched the attached review of school exclusions, led by the former Minister for Vulnerable Children and Families (Edward Timpson) on Friday 16 March. The review will help us to understand how and why schools use exclusion, what drives the variation we see in exclusion rates and, in particular, the disproportionate exclusion of some groups including black Caribbean boys, Children in Need, Looked After Children, and those with Special Educational Needs. The review will also explore and identify effective practice, which can be shared across the system.</p><p> </p><p>As part of this review, we also published our call for evidence, at: <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/school-absence-and-exclusions-team/exclusions-review-call-for-evidence/" target="_blank">https://consult.education.gov.uk/school-absence-and-exclusions-team/exclusions-review-call-for-evidence/</a>. We are seeking views from parents, children, schools, local authorities and other organisations, about their experiences, practice and evidence. Responses should be submitted by 6 May 2018.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 20/03/2018 17:43:43 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name A_Review_of_School_Exclusion-terms_of_reference.pdf title Attachment 1

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to collect information from Ofsted on the number of children who are electively home educated, given that this information is already requested by Ofsted as part of the child-level data in its local authority inspections and may be raised by Ofsted during its annual engagement meetings.
tabling member printed	Lord Lucas
uin	HL6041
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>Publication or release of information gathered by Ofsted is primarily a matter for that body, but in any case it is unlikely that collation of this data on a national basis would result in accurate information on the total numbers of children educated at home, since it is collected for different local authorities at different times, and relies on varying systems within those authorities. The survey conducted by the Association of Directors of Children’s Services in the autumn of 2017, based on local authority data supplied at the time, is likely to produce a more accurate overall estimate.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 19/03/2018 16:17:14 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
