answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2021 answer text <p>No assessment has been made by the Department.</p><p> </p><p>Single parents who become unemployed may be eligible for Universal Credit (UC). UC provides help with childcare costs and a dedicated Work Coach. The Government considers that, where possible, it is in the best interests of children to be in working households, and we are committed to helping lone parents into a job which fits in around their caring responsibilities. Jobcentre Plus staff can help parents to find work that fits around childcare responsibilities and provide intensive support to lone parents. Claimants with children will benefit from a work allowance, and Universal Credit pays up to 85 per cent of childcare costs, compared to 70 per cent in legacy benefits, and can be claimed up to a month before starting a job.</p><p> </p><p>Since the start of the pandemic, the Government’s priority has been to protect lives and people’s livelihoods, through its economic response.</p><p> </p><p>This Government is wholly committed to supporting those on low incomes, including by increasing the living wage, and by spending an estimated £112 billion on welfare support for people of working age in 2020/21. This included around £7.4 billion of Covid-related welfare policy measures.</p><p> </p><p>We introduced our Covid Winter Grant Scheme providing funding to Local Authorities in England to help the most vulnerable children and families stay warm and well fed during the coldest months, now the Covid Local Support Grant, with a total investment of £269 million.</p><p> </p><p>As the economy recovers, our ambition is to help people move into and progress in work as quickly as possible based on clear evidence around the importance of employment, particularly where it is full-time, in substantially reducing the risks of poverty.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>We continue to carefully monitor levels of under-reporting of abortions for fetal abnormality. Actions being taken include working directly with hospital staff to understand their specific challenges and help them find solutions to improve reporting of abortions. The Department, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Maternal and Fetal Health Medicine Society have written to all clinicians in fetal medicine units, antenatal screening midwives, and associated administrative staff to remind all doctors involved in abortion care of their legal responsibility under the Abortion Act 1967 and Abortion Regulations 1991 to submit form HSA4 within 14 days of the termination. The letter also provides practical examples from hospitals the Department has worked with to improve their reporting processes.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We are not aware of any case where a registered medical practitioner has been investigated or convicted in the past five years of wilfully contravening or wilfully failing to comply with the notification requirements relating to section 1(1) of the Abortion Act 1967.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 19/07/2017 15:08:09 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

uin	HL590
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2015 answer text <p>The government is committed to ensuring that all teachers are trained to tackle serious behaviour issues as well as low-level classroom disruption. We have not undertaken a formal assessment of any correlation between classroom behaviour and classroom seating arrangements; however Sir Andrew Carter’s recent review of initial teacher training (ITT) content identified that some training courses are insufficiently robust in terms of training teachers to manage poor pupil behaviour. That is why we have invited Tom Bennett, a renowned behaviour expert, to lead an expert group to develop core content on behaviour management for ITT. His group will consider how best to promote their recommendations to ITT providers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>All qualified teachers are required to meet the Teachers’ Standards, which include specific requirements for developing and demonstrating effective behaviour management skills. This includes setting clear rules and routines for behaviour in classrooms, and taking responsibility for promoting good and courteous behaviour both in classrooms and around the school.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash grouped question UIN HL588 HL589 question first answered 25/06/2015 13:51:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
