The Department for Education provides a service to process intercountry adoption cases in accordance with the legislative framework. We provide prospective adopters with information and guidance on the intercountry process but do not provide legal advice on individual cases and independent legal advice may need to be obtained. Prospective adopters habitually resident in the UK, who wish to undertake an intercountry adoption need to be assessed and approved by a registered adoption agency, which will support them through the process.<\/p>

Having a skilled workforce in place and attracting young talent to agricultural careers is vital for the future of UK food and farming. There is a wide breadth of exciting technical and highly skilled careers in agriculture from primary production to research, engineering, agronomy, animal welfare and plant health.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is reforming post-16 technical education to provide clear routes to skilled employment in agriculture and other sectors. The changes we have made to the apprenticeship system are transforming lives. We are helping employers to create high quality apprenticeships at all levels that give people of all ages and backgrounds the skills they need. Employers are designing new high quality standards to ensure apprenticeships are more responsive to their needs. Apprenticeship standards are available in a broad range of sectors including agriculture, with Land Based Service Engineer and Arborist approved for delivery, with more in development.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, we currently provide extra support for young farmers starting out in farming through the EU Basic Payment Scheme. Eligible farmers aged between 18 and 40 can claim a 25% uplift on up to 90 hectares of their Basic Payment Scheme payments for the first five years of their new business.<\/p>

<\/p>

Defra also provides grant funding support to the National Federation of Young Farmers Clubs to provide mentoring, training and development opportunities for young people across England who are interested in food and farming.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3934", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for George Eustice"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Camborne and Redruth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "George Eustice"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-30T10:45:56.77Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Agriculture: Young People"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent steps his Department has taken to encourage young people to work in agriculture.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1597", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David Simpson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Upper Bann"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "David Simpson"} ], "uin" : "146189"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/909030", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/909030/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
