Scotty's Little Soldiers, a charity in King's Lynn, proposes tracking and supporting 1,000 bereaved service children in schools to help them cope with loss.
An area where we can do more to tackle disadvantage that families face is in helping bereaved services children in the education system. Will my hon. Friend therefore look favourably at proposals from Scotty's Little Soldiers, an excellent charity based in King's Lynn, in my constituency, to track and support 1,000 bereaved services children in our schools?
Absolutely. I pay tribute to those at Scotty's Little Soldiers, who have done a remarkable job over the years, and I am seeing them tomorrow. Data is an area where the Government are determined to do their work to make sure that all of our policies are evidence-based and that they reach the people who need them tracking service families, particularly bereaved families, through schools is an important part of that work.
