star this property answer text <p>As at 31 March 2015, five per cent of 10-17 year olds who had been in care for a year or more had been convicted of an offence or were subject to a final warning or reprimand.[1] Proven offending by young people, including looked after children has fallen significantly in recent years. Since the peak in youth offending in 2007, proven youth offending is down 79%; first-time entrants to the youth justice system are down 82%. Youth offending teams work with the police and other agencies to prevent looked after children from offending and coming in to contact with the youth justice system.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has asked Sir Martin Narey to review residential care for looked after children and he will make recommendations on criminalisation. Charlie Taylor is leading a review of youth justice. We will respond to those reviews in due course.</p><p> </p><p>I am grateful to the Prison Reform Trust for their contribution to this important debate.

star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring that all pupils, regardless of ethnicity, background or location, are able to achieve their full potential in education. This includes those pupils who are classed as having English as an additional language (EAL).</p><p> </p><p>It is essential that all pupils are proficient in written and spoken English so that they can access the curriculum effectively and engage fully with school. To help schools develop the English language skills of their EAL pupils, rather than implementing a limited number of area-based programmes we have given all local authorities in England the ability to allocate funding to schools for their EAL pupils. In 2016-17, 136 local authorities used the EAL factor in their school funding formulae, spending £282 million in total. Furthermore, we have proposed that the national funding formula for schools, which will replace local funding formulae from 2018-19 onwards, will include an EAL factor.</p><p> </p><p>Schools may also use their pupil premium funding to support disadvantaged pupils with EAL.</p><p> </p><p>At the same time, we do recognise that in some areas of England schools face entrenched challenges in raising the educational performance of their pupils. That is why we are designating those areas of greatest need as opportunity areas, and are targeting the Department’s improvement programmes in these locations with the aim of improving social mobility. To date twelve areas have been identified as opportunity areas and will share £72 million to improve the quality of education and to provide young people with the advice and skills needed for good jobs.</p>

That is why we are making Relationships Education compulsory for all primary school pupils and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) compulsory for all secondary school pupils. From 2020, Health Education will also be compulsory for all pupils in state-funded schools.</p><p> </p><p>We have recently published the updated draft guidance, which contains information on what schools should cover when teaching these subjects. The guidance, attached, is available here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/781150/Draft_guidance_Relationships_Education__Relationships_and_Sex_Education__RSE__and_Health_Education2.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/781150/Draft_guidance_Relationships_Education__Relationships_and_Sex_Education__RSE__and_Health_Education2.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The guidance includes an equal focus on teaching children and young people appropriate behaviour with other people and on being safe online. For example, pupils should be taught about making sure that they treat others respectfully when they are online as well as recognising potential risks to themselves. In RSE, pupils are taught that there are a range of strategies for identifying and managing sexual pressure, including understanding and resisting peer pressure, and not pressurising others. We have made clear that, at all stages, it will be important to balance teaching children about making sensible decisions to stay safe whilst being clear that abuse is never the fault of a child who is abused and that victim blaming is always wrong.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p>
