https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/emergency-planning-and-response-for-education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care-settings<\/a>.<\/p>The department is also aware that some schools and colleges have reported finding the recruitment of invigilators more challenging this year. We are working with exam boards to monitor the risk and have supported recruitment by sharing The Exams Office\u2019s vacancy map with pools of invigilators like parents and higher education students.<\/p>
The Joint Council for Qualifications has published updated guidance for centres managing exams in case of invigilator shortage. This includes information about varying start times; alternative sites; invigilation ratios; use of subject teachers as invigilators; addressing challenges for individual candidates; and remote invigilation.<\/p>

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is claimed by people with a range of health conditions and disabilities, many of which are degenerative or life limiting and the Department treats the death of any claimant sympathetically. Claims made under Special Rules for Terminal Illness (SRTI) are fast tracked and are being cleared in 4 working days on average (as at the end of January 2021, the latest available published data).<\/p>
<\/p>
The cause of death of claimants to PIP is not collated centrally by the Department.<\/p>
<\/p>
390 people died whilst waiting for a decision on their PIP claim between 1st<\/sup> and 31st<\/sup> January 2021, the latest date for which published data is available. For context, 62,330 claims were submitted for PIP over the same period. Note that the stated number of deaths includes people who submitted claims before January 2021.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>Source: PIP ADS and Customer Information System <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p>- These figures include claims made under normal rules and special rules for terminally ill claimants and include new claims and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to PIP reassessment claims.<\/li>
- If a claimant dies before a decision is made on an outstanding claim, the Department establishes whether the claimant\u2019s representative or next of kin wishes to proceed with the claim. If not, the claim is withdrawn.<\/li>
- This is unpublished data. It should be used with caution and it may be subject to future revision.<\/li>
- PIP claimants are included if they died in January 2021 and a PIP claim was registered before their date of death and was cleared after their date of death.<\/li>
- Claimants\u2019 dates of death are as recorded on the system at 11th<\/sup> May 2021 and may be subject to change.<\/li>
- Data covers Great Britain only.<\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
Under the Social Security (Notification of Deaths) Regulations 2012 and s125 of Social Security Administration Act 1992 date of death is provided to the Department for all registered deaths. Additionally, next of kin also provide information on the date of death of an individual and this information is used appropriately in the administration of Departmental benefits.<\/p>
<\/p>
The PIP data includes claims made under normal rules and special rules for terminally ill claimants, as well as new claims and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to PIP reassessment claims.<\/p>"}

The Government is committed to protecting consumers from unsafe products. Legislation is in place to ensure that manufacturers only place safe products on the market and take action where they identify a safety issue with products already on the market.<\/p>
<\/p>
Therefore Whirlpool is responsible for the safety of the products it supplies and for taking effective action when unsafe products are discovered. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is the national regulator for product safety. It assessed the company\u2019s proposal for a recall against regulatory standards and best practice to ensure the proposed action was sufficient to address the risk and provided timely notification of consumers as to the action they need to take.<\/p>
<\/p>
OPSS is now monitoring the recall closely and will hold the company to account if the recall is not effective.<\/p>"}

We have not made a specific assessment of the effect of higher electricity prices on the steel industry. The ability of our steel industry to compete globally and across Europe is a priority for this Government. We therefore provide electricity cost compensation and exemption support to maintain the UK\u2019s reputation as an attractive location for these businesses. We also have a number of funds available, or in development, that support energy intensive industries, including steel, to help them increase energy efficiency and transition to a low carbon future. These funds include the £315 million Industrial Energy Transformation Fund, the Industrial Heat Recovery Support Programme and the recently announced £250 million Clean Steel Fund.<\/p>"}
