Baroness Berridge
My Lords, the Government have recently updated the guidance and, where schools have capacity, we have encouraged them to have face-to-face contact with all students, particularly those in years 11 and 13. In relation to the particularly vulnerable in year 11 who are in alternative provision, there has been a £7 million fund because we recognise the risks of those young people not being in education or training.
Lord Triesman (Lab) [V]
My Lords, can the Minister tell us how frequently she is meeting the organisations to which she referred in her—[Inaudible.]
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Bates) (Con)
We are having difficulty hearing the noble Lord, Lord Triesman, so we will move on to the noble Lord, Lord Storey, and come back to him if there is time to sort out the technical problems.
