Teachers: Disability and Neurodiversity
Asked by: Chris Bloore (Labour - Redditch) Monday 19th January 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what data her Department holds on the proportion of neurodivergent and disabled teachers currently working in schools. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) Information on the school workforce, including the number of teachers in state-funded schools, is published in the ‘School workforce in England’ statistical publication, available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england/2024. Schools are asked to record whether staff self‑report a disability. In the November 2024 school workforce census, disability information was either not yet obtained or was refused for around 59% of teachers, the most recent data available. Where disability information was reported, around 3% of teachers were recorded as disabled. However, this may not represent the true proportion due to the level of missing data. This has been available since 5 June 2025. The department does not collect data centrally on whether school staff are neurodivergent. |

Teachers: Disability and Neurodiversity
Asked by: Chris Bloore (Labour - Redditch) Tuesday 20th January 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how does the new Ofsted inspection framework measure and assess workforce inclusion, particularly for neurodivergent and disabled teachers. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) This is a matter for His Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver. I have asked him to write to my hon. Friend, the Member for Redditch directly and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses. |

Palliative Care
Asked by: Chris Bloore (Labour - Redditch) Friday 23rd January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish a national strategy for palliative and end of life care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is developing a Palliative Care and End of Life Care Modern Service Framework (MSF) for England, for publication later this year. The MSF will drive improvements in the services that patients and their families receive at the end of life and will enable integrated care boards to address challenges in access, quality, and sustainability through the delivery of high-quality, personalised care. This will be aligned with the ambitions set out in the recently published 10-Year Health Plan. For further information on the MSF I refer the Hon. Member to the Written Statement HCWS1087 I made to the House on 24 November 2025. |
