answer text <p>Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.</p><p>The department has not made a recent assessment of the potential merits of providing free after-school activities at schools.</p><p>The department is committed to ensuring young people have access to high quality extracurricular opportunities. The department knows these are an important part of a rich educational experience and can bring wider benefits to young people's mental health, confidence, social skills and general wellbeing. We also recognise the important role wraparound childcare, including after-school clubs, has in enabling parents to work.</p><p>Schools are best placed to understand and meet the needs of their pupils and so have flexibility to decide what range of extracurricular activities to offer and how to resource these activities.  Both pupil premium and recovery premium can be used to fund enrichment activities. In March 2022, the department updated its guidance to make this clear to schools. Schools can choose how they wish to use this funding in line with a menu of approaches.</p><p>Working families can also get help with childcare costs through Tax Free Childcare (TFC) worth up to £2,000 per year for children aged up to 11, or £4,000 per year for children aged up to 17 with disabilities, and the childcare element of Universal Credit (UC) for children up to age 16. Parents and carers can benefit from TFC and UC for the cost of after-school clubs, but the providers must be on the Ofsted Early Years or Childcare registers.</p><p>The department also supports a range of initiatives to expand access to high quality extracurricular activities, for example investing over £200 million a year in our Holiday Activities and Food programme and working with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to offer the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to all state secondary schools in England. The government is also investing £289 million in a new childcare ‘pathfinder’ scheme to support local authorities to work with primary schools and private providers to set up and deliver wraparound childcare before and after school.</p>

answer text <p>No. Research by the Health and Safety Executive on quadbikes used in the workplace is that Roll Over Protection Systems, which includes roll bars, may lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of an overturn by either preventing the operator from separating from the machine or striking the operator as the machine overturns.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is focusing on encouraging people across the United Kingdom to register their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register to increase the number of donor organs available and help to save lives across the UK. Approximately nine in 10 families support organ donation going ahead when they know it is what their loved one wanted. Across the year NHSBT will deliver various activities to encourage people to register. This includes activities across its existing channels, through the media and via strategic partnerships such as the ongoing partnership with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. These are all utilised particularly at key times such as Organ Donation Week in September.</p><p>In Northern Ireland, following the passing of the Organ and Tissue Donation (Deemed Consent) Act, NHSBT nursing teams will continue to support families of potential organ donors and work alongside clinical teams to ensure the effective implementation of this. Organ donation is a devolved policy, but NHSBT has a UK wide remit.</p>
