Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the equality implications of his Department's proposals on unregulated provision for children in care and care leavers for (a) disabled children and (b) children from black and minority ethnic communities; and whether his Department has plans to publish an equality impact assessment of those proposals.
As part of the current consultation on reforms to unregulated provision for children in care and care leavers the department is considering equality implications of the proposals. An equality impact assessment will be published as part of the government’s response to the consultation.
