answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2021 answer text <p>As indicated in my answer to Question <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2020-02-27/hl2002" target="_blank">HL2002</a> on 12 March 2020, madrassas are generally considered to be out-of-school settings, which are not captured by a single dedicated regulatory framework, and therefore are not subject to inspections by Ofsted or the department.</p><p>However, as explained previously, the department is taking forward a package of measures to enhance safeguarding in out-of-school settings, safeguarding children from all forms of harm, including extremism and terrorism.</p><p>The main phase of this work concluded in March 2020. We are currently considering how the outputs can be used to help inform best practice on how existing legal powers, held by local authorities, the police, Ofsted and other departments and agencies, can best be used to address safeguarding and welfare concerns. We are also looking into what more we might need to do at a national level.</p><p>In addition to this, we have also published a voluntary code of practice for out-of-school setting providers, such as madrassas, to support them in understanding what they need to do to run a safe setting. This is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/keeping-children-safe-in-out-of-school-settings" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/keeping-children-safe-in-out-of-school-settings</a>. Accompanying guidance for parents and carers is also available to help them make more informed choices when considering out-of-school settings for their children, including the red flags to look out for and what steps to take where they might have concerns.</p><p>As indicated in my previous answer, if the department became aware of a setting where children were at risk of harm, we would work closely with relevant agencies, such as the local authority, Ofsted or the police to take action.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 28/04/2021 10:46:40 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge
