question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has made an assessment of the implications for his policies of March 2019 research by Generation Rent which found that local authorities surveyed had issued improvement notices to private landlords in only 5 per cent of cases where a tenant had complained in 2017-18; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>The research was published on 18 March 2019. No assessment has been made at this time.</p><p>Improvement notices alone do not represent the full scale of local authority enforcement action where serious hazards are identified in residential property. They are one of a range of enforcement tools available for local authorities to use to address serious hazards, which also include informal action, carrying out emergency repairs, and, in extreme cases limiting or stopping the use of a property. Local authorities use the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), introduced by the Housing Act 2004, to assess property conditions and must take appropriate enforcement action where the most serious hazards are present.</p><p>We announced in October 2018 that we were commissioning a review to assess how well the HHSRS works in practice and ensure it is fit for purpose.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 26/03/2019 16:48:56 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department is making relationships education compulsory for all primary pupils and relationships and sex education (RSE) compulsory for all secondary pupils from September 2020. From that point, health education will also be compulsory for all state funded pupils.</p><p>Pupils should be taught about the society in which they are growing up. RSE should meet the needs of all pupils, whatever their developing identity or sexuality. The recently updated draft guidance sets out that pupils should know how stereotypes, in particular stereotypes based on sex, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or disability, can cause damage, and how they might normalise non-consensual behaviour or encourage prejudice. Health education will also cover important relevant content, such as puberty and menstrual wellbeing in both primary and secondary schools.</p><p>Pupils should receive teaching on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual (LGBT) relationships during their school years. We expect secondary schools to include LGBT content and primary schools are encouraged and enabled to cover LGBT content if they consider it age appropriate to do so.
