answer text <p>Decisions on school uniform, including how this is sourced, are made by the governing body (or academy trust) of the school, but our existing guidance is clear that, when setting their uniform policies, schools should keep costs to a minimum and ensure the uniform is affordable for everyone.</p><p>The guidance also reminds schools of their obligation under Human Rights and Equalities legislation, as well as highlighting the legal requirement for schools to have a complaints process in place. Parents who have concerns about a school’s uniform policy can use this process to raise these with the school. If parents continue to have concerns, they can raise these with the Department.</p><p>We intend to put this guidance on a statutory footing when a suitable legislative opportunity arises.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has advised that there were no exceptional circumstances that led to the addition of a review question on blue-light filtering intraocular lenses in the development of its guideline on the management of cataracts. The draft review questions in the scope for the guideline referred to various aspects of lens design and, during the NICE Guideline Committee’s work on this area, the question relating to blue-light filtering intraocular lenses was added and subsequently signed off through all the normal processes. This is consistent with the normal way in which questions are refined by committees during guidance development.</p> more like this
