The government will respond to this review after it is published at the beginning of 2019.</p><p>The attached full terms of reference for the review can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusions-review-terms-of-reference" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusions-review-terms-of-reference</a>.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 05/12/2018 12:51:14 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 A_Review_of_School_Exclusion_Terms_Of_Reference

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department is taking to assist with the removal of asbestos from schools in England.
tabling member constituency	Coventry South
tabling member printed	Mr Jim Cunningham
uin	194035
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>The Department considers the health and safety of staff and pupils in school as paramount. Since 2015, the Department has allocated £5.6 billion to those responsible for school buildings and for essential maintenance, including removing or encapsulating asbestos when it is the safest course of action to do so. In addition, through the £4.4 billion Priority School Building Programme, the Department is rebuilding or refurbishing buildings in the worst condition in over 500 schools across the country. Asbestos is a factor in choosing which schools to re-build.</p><p>Advice from the Health and Safety Executive is that if asbestos is unlikely to be damaged or disturbed, then it is best managed in situ. The blanket and accelerated removal of asbestos in schools is potentially a more dangerous and greater risk to pupils and staff. Any decision to remove asbestos is taken on a case by case basis, based on the risk of exposure and the work to be undertaken. While asbestos will be removed over time from the school estate as part of any rebuilding or refurbishment programme, the Department has not committed to the phased removal of all asbestos by a specific date.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 26/11/2018 17:16:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
