Curriculum: Donors
Asked by: Afzal Khan (Labour - Manchester Rusholme) Tuesday 25th February 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department is taking steps to make (a) blood, (b) plasma, (c) platelet, (d) organ, (e) stem cell and (f) tissue donation a mandatory part of the curriculum for primary and secondary school children. Answered by Catherine McKinnell - Minister of State (Education) The teaching of blood, tissue and organs is covered in the biology national curriculum at key stage 3, so is taught to pupils aged 11 to 14. While organ donation is not specifically mentioned, schools may choose to cover it here. At primary level, schools can talk about blood and organ donation more generally, in an age-appropriate way, as part of the relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) curriculum, which includes content on physical health and mental wellbeing. Blood and organ donation can be covered in more detail in secondary RSHE, within the context of healthy lifestyles and the choices that individuals make in adulthood. The Oak National Academy, an arm's length public body responsible for creating free curriculum resources, has produced a lesson that can be taught to pupils between the ages of 7 and 11 (key stage 2). This includes a section on organs, the transplant waiting list and the relevant legislation. The department is currently reviewing the statutory RSHE curriculum, which includes considering whether any additional content is needed. Separately, the independent Curriculum and Assessment Review will consider how RSHE fits into the wider curriculum. |

University of Manchester: Innovation
Asked by: Afzal Khan (Labour - Manchester Rusholme) Tuesday 4th March 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the work produced by the University of Manchester’s Unit M initiative. Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) Officials from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology have met the University of Manchester to understand how its new Unit M functions, and intends to help the university to support the region’s innovation economy. We look forward to learning from its insights as it delivers its activities. This is an example of how universities are working collaboratively within their regions to deliver economic growth, supporting the government’s mission to kickstart the economy. The importance of developing regional innovation ecosystems in this way is why we have extended the Innovation Accelerator pilot programme into 2025/26.

Crime and Policing Bill Human Rights (Joint Committee) (Select) Submit Evidence (by 25 Apr 2025) The Joint Committee on Human Rights is conducting legislative scrutiny of the Crime and Policing Bill to assess its compatibility with international and domestic human rights standards. The Government’s stated purpose for the Bill is to support its mission to halve knife crime and violence against women and girls in a decade, to increase public confidence in policing and the wider criminal justice system, to support neighbourhood policing and give the police the powers they need to tackle anti-social behaviour, crime and terrorism, whilst introducing reforms to ensure that law enforcement agencies perform to high standards and focus on front-line policing. Many of the changes proposed by the Bill would engage the human rights of victims, perpetrators and other members of the public |
