Children: Diabetes

Mr. Graham Stuart: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) what steps his Department is taking to encourage increased awareness of diabetes among teachers and head teachers; and if he will make a statement; [247315]

(2) what support is made available for children (a) up to the age of 11 and (b) aged between 11 and 16 years who have been diagnosed with diabetes; and if he will make a statement. [247316]

Sarah McCarthy-Fry: “Managing Medicines in Schools and Early Years Settings”, issued jointly by the Department and the Department of Health in 2005, specifically addresses what schools can do to support pupils with medical needs such as diabetes. It encourages schools and local authorities to develop policies on the management of pupil’s medicines and on supporting pupils with medical needs, taking account of local resources and their various responsibilities. We also produced sister guidance in the same year, entitled “Including me: managing complex health needs in schools and early years settings”.

Also, since September 2007 schools have a duty to promote the well-being of all pupils, including those with long term medical conditions. This duty defines well-being as the five outcomes of Every Child Matters, including being healthy and staying safe.

In April 2007, the Department of Health published a report entitled “Making Every Young Person with Diabetes Matter”, and has convened a group to support the implementation of best practice as set out in the report. The Department for Children, Schools and Families is represented on that group, and also on the sub-group set up to look specifically at support in schools.

Children: Obesity

John Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what progress his Department has made towards its target to halt the year-on-year rise in obesity among children under 11 by 2010; and if he will make a statement. [247469]

Sarah McCarthy-Fry: Data from the Health Survey for England (HSE) form the basis of the PSA indicator for child obesity. The most recent data may be an early indication that obesity prevalence rates in children are levelling out. The 2007 HSE data, which was published in December 2008, estimated that the prevalence of obesity among two to 10-year-olds was around 15 per cent. The exact rate has increased very slightly, to 15.4 per cent., from 15.2 per cent. in 2006. However, this change is not statistically significant and it follows a fall from 16.8 per cent. in 2005. These are encouraging figures but there is no room for complacency and we will continue to monitor closely the trends in England.

The 2004 spending review public service agreement (PSA) target 4, to halt the year-on-year rise in obesity among children under 11 by 2010, has been superseded by a more ambitious target to reduce the proportion of overweight and obese children to 2000 levels by 2020 in the context of tackling obesity across the population. This target is one of the indicators that underpins the 2007 comprehensive spending review PSA to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

Citizenship: Education

Mr. Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many teachers have taken up the citizenship continuing professional development programme; and how much has been spent by his Department on bursaries for such teachers. [253133]

Jim Knight: In 2007-08 103 teachers completed the citizenship continuing professional development programme. This is the latest information available. The amount spent on bursaries for such teachers is unknown.

Class Sizes: Lincolnshire

Shona McIsaac: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families which schools in (a) North East Lincolnshire and (b) North Lincolnshire have class sizes of over 30 pupils. [252782]
