We are assessing the merits of safer driving measures for new and novice drivers, including guardian agreements for night time driving, as part of the Department\u2019s £2 million Driver 2020 research project. This work aims to make young drivers safer, more confident and more skilful in their first year of driving through non-legislative, technical or educational measures with potential to lower their risk of collisions.\u202f The project will complete in early 2022 due to being paused for coronavirus and will inform future thinking on young drivers\u2019 policy.<\/p>

In England, the Department for Transport is making £225 million available to local authorities this financial year for urgent measures to make it easier for people to walk and cycle for all short journeys, including to school. This in addition to providing £1m for the Walk to School outreach programme delivered by Living Streets. The Department for Education has produced guidance on implementing protective measures in education and childcare settings. This guidance sets out that schools should \u2018ensure parents and young people are aware of recommendations on transport to and from education or childcare settings\u2019 and encourage parents and children and young people \u2018to walk or cycle to their education setting where possible\u2019. Any funding on top of the Department for Transport\u2019s current budgets will have Barnett Consequentials applied in the usual way for Northern Ireland.<\/p>

We do not currently anticipate that, as a general rule, children and young people will need to repeat a school year as a consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak. However, it remains possible for headteachers to agree this in individual cases, if they think it is appropriate. It is important for parents to remember that all children in any year group will be in the same position and schools will be planning carefully to take this into account in their teaching and their support for pupils as they return.<\/p>

We have announced a package of support worth £1 billion to ensure that schools have the support they need to help children and young people make up for lost teaching time, with extra support in the form of a tutoring programme for those who need it most. This package of measures includes:<\/p>
