To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of changing school registration forms to enable teachers to identify children born prematurely who are more at risk of special educational needs.

The government does not require schools to request information from parents about whether their child was born prematurely. It does, however, expect them to put the right support in place for each child, taking account of their individual needs and schools may wish to seek this information in order to do so.
