Highways England are currently completing a review of a road link at the A59 / M57 / M58 junction, where an exceedance of the annual mean nitrogen dioxide limit value set by the Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) has been identified, to investigate whether there are steps they could take to improve air quality.<\/p>

The Government has put passengers at the centre of the development of the Aviation Strategy. The Government recognises that it is important for the needs of all passengers, including those with less obvious disabilities such as hearing loss, to be addressed by airports. Assistance for passengers with this and other hidden disabilities will be considered as part of the work on the strategy.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government will build on the good work of the Civil Aviation Authority, which in 2016 introduced a new regulatory framework designed to ensure passengers with hidden disabilities get the assistance they need at airports, followed by an initial report in 2018 on airport enhancements as a result of the new guidance.<\/p>

The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 places responsibility for safeguarding with the aviation training provider. The provider must ensure that they have a safeguarding process in place for those individuals employed or working with them, for the protection of persons under the age of 18, who use their services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) oversees UK flight instructors to ensure that they meet the requirements of UK and European aviation legislation. The CAA reminds training organisations that instruct persons under the age of 18 to be aware of their safeguarding obligations.<\/p>
