answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>In March 2019, the government announced its decision not to extend maintenance loans to part-time distance learners in the 2019-20 academic year. This was on the grounds that the demand for a loan product aimed at part-time distance learners is unlikely to be high enough to make the introduction of such a loan economically viable.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 22/07/2019 15:55:07 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

uin	263230
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2019 answer text <p>Mechanisms are in place for residents of care homes and their families to report abuse.</p><p>Under the Care Act 2014, in any activity that a local authority undertakes, it should ensure that the individual is, and remains, protected against abuse or neglect.</p><p>Section 4 of the Care Act 2014 also places a duty on local authorities to “establish and maintain a service for providing people in its area with information and advice relating to care and support for adults and support for carers.” This service includes information and advice about what to do in cases of neglect or abuse of an adult. Where it is suspected that an individual may be at risk of abuse or neglect, local authorities have a duty to carry out proportionate enquiries.</p><p>Quality Matters includes work to improve access to complaints systems and improve the feedback culture in the sector. In July 2018, as part of the initiative, the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman and Healthwatch England published the Single Complaints Statement – a guide for each stage of the complaints process, for adult social care providers and commissioners, people who use services, their families and carers. This sets out what service users, their families and representatives can expect when making a complaint with a simple bulleted guide for each stage of the complaints process. Service providers are encouraged to adopt the single complaints statements into their own complaints policies and highlight them in any information they give to service users, their families and representatives.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 19/06/2019 16:15:21 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
