Pupils: Young Carers
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife) Monday 16th June 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the under reporting of young carer numbers in the school census 2025. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The impact of caring on education has been hidden for too long. The school census data is already shining a light on this issue despite the underreporting. It has given the department hard evidence on young carer’s attendance, suspensions and exclusions, and we are aiming to publish data on their educational progress and attainment at both key stage 2 and key stage 4 this autumn. The department expects this data to continue to improve over time as the collection becomes better established, but we are looking at the ways the data is entered to see if there are technical changes that can be made to support more accurate reporting without overly burdening schools. |

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) On the 23 April, the Secretary of State (SoS) for Transport appeared before the Transport Select Committee and announced that the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will take further actions to reduce waiting times for all customers across Great Britain.
Further information on these actions and progress of DVSA’s plan to reduce driving test waiting times, which was announced in December 2024, can be found on GOV.UK.
The measures announced by SoS to make additional driving tests available each month were implemented on 1 June. It is too early to evaluate those measures, or their impact at a national or regional level. |
