uin	HL1235
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>On the 16 June 2014 the Department for Education issued new non-statutory guidance for schools and teachers on pupil’s mental health and behaviour. This guidance gives information, guidance and practical tools on how to build resilience and support good mental health. It also helps school staff identify those pupils who may have emerging problems and provides guidance on appropriate routes of support. The guidance is published online:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mental-health-and-behaviour-in-schools--2" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/mental-health-and-behaviour-in-schools--2</a></p><p> </p><p>In addition our special educational needs (SEN) reforms are set out in the 0-25 SEN and Disability Code of Practice which is currently before Parliament. This makes it clear that schools should look to identify any underlying mental health needs that pupils have. The Code emphasises the importance of staff development and provides a number of signposts to specific support. This includes further support for teachers and adults working with children and young people, which is available through <a href="http://www.minded.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.minded.org.uk</a>, a website funded by the Department of Health that helps adults identify and support children and young people’s mental health issues.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 22/07/2014 12:21:38 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what (1) concessionary fares, and (2) free travel arrangements, for bus and travel services exist in each region of the United Kingdom; and whether they have plans to expand and encourage such schemes.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL1244
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p>Statutory concessionary bus travel is a devolved matter with separate systems administered in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. This response, therefore, refers only to the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS). The ENCTS is a statutory concession scheme which allows for free travel for older and disabled people on local bus services anywhere in England, between 0930 and 2300 during weekdays and anytime at weekends and bank holidays. In addition, local authorities are able to provide non-statutory, discretionary concessions for specified groups of people, from their own funds, in accordance with their local priorities, which the Government encourages. In each of the years 2010/11 to 2013/14, nearly all of the 89 Travel Concessionary Authorities outside London were offering some sort of discretionary travel concession over and above the statutory minimum ENCTS, for example companion passes or extensions to travel times. The statutory concession for London residents provides free travel for pass holders on almost all public transport in London. Details of discretionary enhancements across England can be found here -</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/259404/concessionary-travel-statistics-2012-13.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/259404/concessionary-travel-statistics-2012-13.pdf</a></p><p /> <p /> <p>(see in particular table BUS0841).</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p /> <p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 22/07/2014 14:37:57 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
