That this House regrets that local authorities across the North East of England are set to lose more than an estimated £119 million in school funding in real terms by 2020, equivalent to the loss of 3,203 teachers; notes that this reduction is due to a failure to increase funding per pupil in line with school costs; further notes that the National Audit Office estimates that schools across the country will face a £3 billion funding gap due to reductions in real terms spending and increases in cost pressures by 2020; notes that 72 per cent of school leaders state that their budgets will be unsustainable by 2019 under current projections; and calls on the Government to ensure that schools across the region and across the country are given sufficient funding to provide high-quality education for all pupils.

We recognise that schools have a vital role to play in helping to promote good mental health for all their pupils as well as providing early support where mental health problems have been identified
Schools are best placed to decide what support and teaching they need to provide and we know that many schools provide their pupils with counselling. While we do not collect detailed central information on this provision, we have produced a blueprint for school counselling services which provides schools with practical, evidence-based advice informed by schools and counselling experts on how to deliver high quality school based counselling. More information can be found online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/counselling-in-schools. However, teachers are not mental health professionals and it is important that students can get swift access to specialist mental health support where needed. An additional £1.25bn is available for mental health services for children, young people and new mothers over the next 5 years, to ensure timely access to appropriate specialist support is available.
In March 2015, we published a review of the research evidence for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education teaching. This covers effective practice and teaching as well as the impact of PSHE teaching on pupil’s outcomes, including their emotional health and well-being and their academic attainment. This research is published online here:

We have already funded the PSHE Association to produce guidance to improve teaching about mental health in PSHE which was published in March 2015. This will be supplemented by detailed lesson plans for Key Stages 1-4. More information is available online here https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435

The Department for Education does not collect information on the presence and condition of asbestos in schools. The Control of Asbestos Regulations requires duty holders—local authorities or schools themselves—to collect this information. Nor does the Department collect information on incidences of schools being closed due to the discovery of asbestos or the removal of asbestos from schools. These are matters for the duty holders and the local management of schools.
On-line guidance on managing the risks from asbestos containing materials was published on the departmental website on 24 October. This is aimed at headteachers, school governors, other members of the school management team and those who oversee the maintenance and repair of school buildings:
www.education.gov.uk/schools/adminandfinance/schoolscapital/buildingsanddesign/managementofpremises/b00215518/asbestosmanagementschools
The Department has not commissioned any research into asbestos related diseases of people working in schools. A research report was commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) relating to a case control study that covered teachers as well as other professions and this was published in 2009. HSE also publish analyses of mesothelioma mortality by occupational groups including teachers. The approach to the management of asbestos as enacted by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 is informed by the results of such research.
A central national register of school buildings containing asbestos is unnecessary as it would duplicate records which those responsible for managing asbestos are required to keep. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, schools must maintain and regularly update an asbestos register with the location and condition of asbestos containing materials in the school.
