It is for Ofcom, as the independent regulator, to monitor and enforce Royal Mail\u2019s delivery of the universal service obligation. The Government does not have a role in Ofcom\u2019s regulatory decisions.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ofcom fined Royal Mail £5.6m for failing to meet its obligations in 2022/23. It continues to hold Royal Mail to account and has said it will take appropriate further enforcement action as required in response to failure to meet quality of service targets. I have also raised concerns with Royal Mail\u2019s parent company and will continue do so if service levels fail to improve.<\/p>
<\/p>
I note that Ofcom\u2019s recent call for inputs on the future of the universal postal service set out the importance of reliability and affordability in consumers\u2019 expectations for postal services and that it will consider if further safeguards are necessary to ensure people\u2019s needs are met.<\/p>"}

The department\u2019s ambition is that all children and young people receive the right support to succeed in their education and as they move into adult life.<\/p>
<\/p>
The special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision (AP) Improvement Plan outlines the government\u2019s mission to establish a single, national SEND and AP system, with the proposal to develop national standards a fundamental foundation for this.<\/p>
<\/p>
This new single national system will set standards on what support should be made available in mainstream settings, including for children with vision impairment. The National Standards will outline the types of special educational provision that should be available, who is responsible for delivering that support, and clarify expectations on mainstream settings and local services. To inform national standards, the department is engaging with stakeholders across education, health and social care, as well as children, young people and their families, this includes members of the Royal National Institute of Blind People.<\/p>
<\/p>
The department is committed to ensuring a steady supply of teachers of children with vision impairment in both specialist and mainstream settings. To teach a class of pupils with vision impairments, a teacher is required to hold the relevant mandatory qualification for sensory impairment (MQSI). There are currently six providers of the MQSI, with a seventh from September 2024. The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) is developing a new occupational standard for teachers of sensory impairment, expected to be available from September 2025. Children and young people with special educational needs have more access to assistive technology following investment in remote education and accessibility features, which can reduce or remove barriers to learning. \u200b<\/p>"}
