Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans he has to include adult and child safeguarding in the Life in the UK Test.

There is currently a “fundamental principles” section in the handbook which covers domestic violence, female genital mutilation and forced marriage.

However, the Home Secretary has announced a review of the handbook and test, and we will be revising it and the test to place greater emphasis on British values. In doing so, it is important that we focus on both the rights and responsibilities of citizens and on the importance of being active citizens.
We are currently considering how this will be taken forward.
