Pre-school Education: West Midlands
Asked by: Preet Kaur Gill (Labour (Co-op) - Birmingham Edgbaston) Tuesday 22nd April 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of five year olds were school ready in (a) Birmingham Edgbaston constituency, (b) Birmingham and (c) the West Midlands in each of the last 10 years. Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Children’s early years are crucial to their development, health and life chances. That is why the department’s Plan for Change set out our ambition for a record proportion of children starting school ready to learn in the classroom. We will measure our progress through 75% of children reaching a good level of development in the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile assessment by 2028. The Early Years Foundation Stage Profile was significantly revised in September 2021. It is therefore not possible to directly compare assessment outcomes since 2021/22 with earlier years. The department has published data through the early years foundation stage teacher assessment since 2021/2022 which can be accessed at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/early-years-foundation-stage-profile-results/2023-24. Local authority and regional data from 2013 to 2019 can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/early-years-foundation-stage-profile-results-2018-to-2019. |

The Department is continuing to review potential future road safety interventions and available options to increase the overall safety of our roads.
We are committed to delivering a new Road Safety Strategy – the first in over a decade - and will set out next steps on this in due course. |

Driving: Hearing Impairment
Asked by: Preet Kaur Gill (Labour (Co-op) - Birmingham Edgbaston) Monday 28th April 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that (a) practical and (b) theory driving (i) lessons and (ii) tests are accessible for people who are d/Deaf. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) works with publishing partners, the Stationary Office, to publish The Highway Code and other materials to help people when learning to drive. The DVSA wants the content it produces to be as accessible as possible to everyone. When booking a theory or practical test, candidates are advised to say if they have a reading difficulty, disability or health condition. DVSA has recently worked with Cabinet Office to identify how the customer journey can be improved for d/Deaf candidates working towards their theory test. As a result, DVSA will be introducing improvements to British Sign Language (BSL) learning, theory test content, the theory test booking journey (including using BSL), and the experience at the theory test centre. Candidates can already take their theory test in BSL if they are d/Deaf or have a hearing impairment; a BSL video appears on the screen next to the questions and answers. Other options for theory test candidates include:
It usually helps BSL users to learn their theory with a d/Deaf-aware driving instructor. The Disabled Driving Instructors association can help d/Deaf people with learning to drive and can be accessed at: www.disabilitydrivinginstructors.com/driving-advice/hearing-difficulties When taking a car practical driving test, candidates can use a BSL interpreter, who can also be their driving instructor. When taking the test, the driving examiner can use prompt cards to support a candidate that is d/Deaf or has hearing loss. These prompt cards give short written instructions and diagrams, so candidates know what they need to do. These prompt cards are published on GOV.UK so learners can familiarise themselves with them before the test, and so that driving instructors can use them as part of their training or mock tests.
