Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the provision of, and access to, educational materials for girls whose education has been disrupted due to symptoms developed after human papilloma virus vaccination.

All children regardless of their circumstances are entitled to a good education and the necessary support to attain it.

Schools have a duty to ensure that arrangements are made to support pupils with medical needs to have full access to education. Where health needs mean a child of compulsory school age would not receive suitable education due to health needs, including because they cannot attend school, local councils have a duty to ensure that alternative education arrangements are put in place.

The education must be full time, or as close to full time as in the best interests of the child, because of their health needs, and it must be on par with what the child would have received if they were in a mainstream school.
