House of Lords written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will place in the Library of the House a copy of the equality impact assessment with regard to the ending of specialist consultancy services on the education of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children.
Specialist consultancy services for the education of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children are provided by local authorities. They would be responsible for analysing the equality impact of any decisions to extend or reduce these services.
Prior to 2011-12 funding for specialist consultancy services on the education of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children was in the main provided through the Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant. This grant was mainstreamed, at its 2010-11 level, into the Dedicated Schools Grant for 2011-12. An equality impact assessment was carried out on the implications of mainstreaming this grant along with the other specific grants mainstreamed into the DSG for 2011-12. This has been placed in the House Libraries.
