answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2017 answer text <p>We have not provided any funding specifically for deaf awareness training. However, over the past six years, we have provided £2.25million of funding to a partnership of sensory impairment charities through the National Sensory Impairment Partnership (NatSIP), to improve outcomes for children and young people with sensory impairment. Through NatSIP, we have worked with charities such as the National Deaf Children’s Society to produce resources such as the 'Supporting the achievement of deaf children' pack, a comprehensive set of guides on how teachers can support children and young people with hearing impairment. In addition, as set out in the Equality Act 2010, we expect all schools to support disabled children and young people, including by making reasonable adjustments to prevent them from suffering discrimination.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 02/02/2017 09:54:01 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2017 answer text <p>Department for Work and Pensions future estate plans are designed to retain the skills and experience of colleagues across the country. As a result, it is proposed that the great majority of employees stay in the same building, with most other employees moving to another site nearby.</p><p>In a small number of cases relocation and redeployment may be more difficult. We will seek to relocate or offer alternative roles to all such employees. But in some cases, this may not be reasonable and redundancies may be required. At this point we are unable to confirm whether redundancies would be voluntary or compulsory.</p><p>The Department for Work and Pensions will be entering into a period of consultation with our colleagues at all affected locations and will be undertaking internal discussions about the options for relocation. It is important to stress that this is a proposal at this stage and we will make a final decision following the consultation process with our colleagues</p><p>It is not until this period of consultation is concluded that we will know exactly how many people may leave the Department as a result of these changes. Our current estimate is that this may be approximately 750 people, less than 1% of the overall workforce.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 02/02/2017 13:05:09 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
