Apprentices: Mental Illness

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make it her policy to introduce data collection that would allow people undertaking apprenticeships to declare a mental health problem.

Answer

The department collects data that allows people undertaking apprenticeships to declare a mental health problem through the Individualised Learner Record.

We will be conducting a survey in early 2018 with 15,000 people currently undertaking further education or an apprenticeship, which will ask whether they have a physical or mental health condition.
