Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

That is a valid point and something we could consider when we are putting the statutory guidance together. It is obvious from all the interventions by hon. Members that we all have the best interests of those young people at heart. We propose that the best practicable solution is for a person's SEN statement to be suspended while they are in custody and picked up and reviewed on their release, but I should point out that our current requirements for education and training for persons in juvenile custody already require that learning assessments of young people's needs be conducted and used to inform individual learning plans and to meet personal needs. That will continue under the new arrangements.
