In line with standard Government practice, funding beyond 2019/20 is a matter for the upcoming Spending Review.<\/p>

The Department recognises that funding is crucial to making the ambitions of our recently published Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy a reality. That is why the Department has made some specific funding commitments for key elements of the strategy such as the Early Career Framework (ECF).<\/p>

Once fully embedded in schools, the Department anticipates investing an additional £130 million every year to support ECF delivery in full.<\/p>

We are committed to ensuring all adults and children receive a timely autism diagnosis in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NHS Long Term Plan was published on 7 January 2019. The Plan commits to improving autism diagnostic pathways in England and ensuring autistic people have access to high-quality care and support in the community. Over the next three years, autism diagnosis will be included alongside work with children and young people\u2019s mental health services to test and implement the most effective ways to reduce waiting times for specialist services. This will be a step towards achieving timely diagnostic assessments in line with best practice guidelines.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department is determined to drive up performance on autism diagnosis nationally. To support this NHS Digital began formally collecting autism diagnosis waiting time data, including information on gender, from mental health provider trusts for the first time through the Mental Health Services Data set in April 2018.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-02T13:44:47.943Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Autism: Females"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps his Department has taken to improve the diagnosis of autism in women.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4663", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ben Bradley"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mansfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ben Bradley"} ], "uin" : "247783"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123148", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123148/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department publishes student\u2019s achievements in A levels, in different grade combinations, split by characteristics. This information can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/<\/a><\/p>

statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results-2017-to-2018-revised<\/a>.<\/p>

Table 1, attached, uses this data to provide the number[1] of students entering at least one A level[2] and those who achieved A*/A*/A, A/B/B and E/E/E[3] [4] [5] or better, split by their free school meals (FSM) status[6] at the end of Key Stage 4. Figures are based on 2017/18[7] revised data, for students in state-funded schools and colleges. The Department does not publish estimates of the proportion of Key Stage 4 FSM pupils who go on to enter and achieve these different A level combinations by the end of 16-18 study. However, an estimate can be derived by comparing the published numbers to the size of the FSM and non-FSM groups from two years previously in 2016. These are shown in table 2, attached.<\/p>

<\/p>

[1] The cohort of students is based on those who are eligible for inclusion in the AAB measure, however this is further restricted (see footnote 2). Inclusion in the AAB measure refers to those who entered at least one full size A level, excluding applied A levels (this includes double award A levels, but does not include AS levels, general studies or critical thinking). If students are entered for less than three full size A levels, they are only included in the measure if they have not entered for other academic, applied general and T level qualifications greater than or equal to the size of an A level. Where a student has only been at a provider for one year, they need to have entered three A levels to be included.<\/p>

[2] Includes A level entries only (excludes double awards, AS levels and Applied A levels); it also excludes general studies and critical thinking.<\/p>

[3] Each student's total grades are taken and compared to the requested groupings. Inclusion in each group occurs when the student has the exact grades, or when three (or more) of their grades match or are higher than the required grades. Therefore, students with only 1 or 2 grades are excluded as they do not match or beat all three required grades. These figures will differ slightly from measures published for all students nationally, due to this slight methodological difference.<\/p>

[4] Only includes students with pass grades (A* to E). Discounting has been applied in line with performance tables methodology (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-qualifications-discount-codes-and-point-scores<\/a>).<\/p>

[5] The E/E/E combination identifies those who achieved three or more A levels as an E grade is the lowest passing grade.<\/p>

[6] Students FSM status is taken from the census recorded completed in their final year of Key Stage 4 year study. Students who completed their Key Stage 4 study in independent schools will not have been included in the census and are grouped as 'unknown FSM'.<\/p>

The latest Initial Teacher Training (ITT) census shows that postgraduate recruitment is at its highest level since 2011/12[1]<\/sup><\/sup>, with 29,255 postgraduate trainees recruited this academic year. The Department\u2019s financial incentives package makes a substantial contribution to this. We offer bursaries and scholarships of up to £28,000 for priority subjects, working in partnership with professional bodies such as the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry.<\/p>

The Department\u2019s analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the current financial offer. As the National Audit Office have acknowledged, the Department found that an increase of £1,000 in bursary value led to a 2.9% increase in applications for postgraduate ITT. The vast majority of bursary recipients go straight from training to the classroom. 94% of 2016/17 postgraduate trainee teachers who successfully completed training in a bursary subject were in a teaching post six months later.<\/p>

To ensure that the Department is spending money effectively, it is piloting two new financial incentives. The first is a phased bursary for mathematics teachers which comprises a lower bursary during training, followed by early-career payments in the third and fifth years of teaching. The second is a student loan reimbursement scheme for languages and science teachers. Both pilots are designed to encourage talented teachers to remain in the profession.<\/p>
