themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-05--Ban on evictions for renters extended by two months

People struggling to pay their rent will be protected from the threat eviction for a further two months , after a government moratorium was extended .
The ban on evicting renters from social and private accommodation will now last until 23 August , the housing secretary announced .
Charity bosses said the extension offered families a 'vital stay of execution ' , but warned the measure was only a stop-gap .
The moratorium was first introduced three months ago to protect people who had lost work due to the pandemic .
The temporary ban was due to run out on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many tenants would be left homeless .
Today , the government announced that the scheme would be extended to protect renters until the end of the summer .
Housing Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP said : `` We have provided an unprecedented package of support for renters during this pandemic .
`` Today , I am announcing that the government ’ s ban on evictions will be extended for another two months .
That takes the moratorium on evictions to a total of five months .
`` Eviction hearings will not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ August and no-one will be evicted from their home this summer due to coronavirus '' We are also working with the judiciary on proposals to ensure that when evictions proceedings do recommence , arrangements , including rules , are in place to assist the court in giving appropriate protections for those who have been particularly affected by coronavirus – including those tenants who have been shielding . ''
Bosses at homeless charity Shelter urged the government to use the extension to change the law to prevent a 'tidal wave of homelessness ' after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ executive of Shelter , said : “ The government has reset the clock on the evictions ban , buying the families who were only weeks away from losing their homes , a vital stay of execution .
But it ’ s only a stop-gap .
“ The ban hasn ’ t stopped people who ’ ve lost their jobs during this pandemic from racking up rent arrears .
Even if they have a plan to pay them back , these debts will throw struggling renters straight back into the firing line of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does lift .
“ It ’ s critical that Robert Jenrick uses this extension wisely to change the law and properly protect renters .
Judges must be given the power to stop people losing their homes because of coronavirus , otherwise the country will face a tidal wave of homelessness after the summer .
Sooner or later , the government has to stop kicking the can down the road . ''

People struggling to pay their rent will be protected from the threat eviction for a further two months, after a government moratorium was extended.
The ban on evicting renters from social and private accommodation will now last until 23 August, the housing secretary announced.
Charity bosses said the extension offered families a 'vital stay of execution', but warned the measure was only a stop-gap.
The moratorium was first introduced three months ago to protect people who had lost work due to the pandemic.
The temporary ban was due to run out on June 25, leading to fears that many tenants would be left homeless.
Today, the government announced that the scheme would be extended to protect renters until the end of the summer.
Housing Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP said: "We have provided an unprecedented package of support for renters during this pandemic.
"Today, I am announcing that the government’s ban on evictions will be extended for another two months. That takes the moratorium on evictions to a total of five months.
"Eviction hearings will not be heard in courts until the end of August and no-one will be evicted from their home this summer due to coronavirus
"We are also working with the judiciary on proposals to ensure that when evictions proceedings do recommence, arrangements, including rules, are in place to assist the court in giving appropriate protections for those who have been particularly affected by coronavirus – including those tenants who have been shielding."
Bosses at homeless charity Shelter urged the government to use the extension to change the law to prevent a 'tidal wave of homelessness' after the summer.
Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said: “The government has reset the clock on the evictions ban, buying the families who were only weeks away from losing their homes, a vital stay of execution. But it’s only a stop-gap.
“The ban hasn’t stopped people who’ve lost their jobs during this pandemic from racking up rent arrears. Even if they have a plan to pay them back, these debts will throw struggling renters straight back into the firing line of an automatic eviction as soon as the ban does lift.
“It’s critical that Robert Jenrick uses this extension wisely to change the law and properly protect renters. Judges must be given the power to stop people losing their homes because of coronavirus, otherwise the country will face a tidal wave of homelessness after the summer. Sooner or later, the government has to stop kicking the can down the road."

"Pep is creative and intense, so he always has ways to make sure that the players’ fusion always works. This is something that he always does, especially now after three months without games and that’s good.
"It is a tough moment in the Premier League; very difficult for us to win the league, but we still have two more trophies to fight for.”

This is because the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to five other people outside of your household outdoors , such as in a park or in a persons garden .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-06--'Not even a phone call from school' - Home learning inconsistencies criticised

A lack of consistency from schools in the work they are providing children at home has been criticised .
Anne Longfield , the Children 's Commissioner for England , says the experiences of young people working at home have differed drastically over lockdown .

''
She said : `` When you talk to young people about their experiences , it goes from complete full day classes in teams , to those that have n't yet had a phone call with anyone .
`` It goes from schools that are dropping off learning packs for children in care , talking to them and picking up those packs at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children who are working with their parents .
And then of course , the fact of the matter is , there 's an awful lot of children that wo n't have had very much , if anything at all . ''
The committee heard that a teacher survey found that two thirds of children ( teachers believed ) were going online for less than two hours a day , with 90 % of disadvantaged groups not even getting two hours .
She said : `` The scale of the number of children who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the online access and also what is available to them either at home or at school is significant .
`` A lot will depend how many children get into school before the summer and before September but I do believe there was a need for greater consistency and therefore greater guidance from the government on what was expected . ''
The committee was also hearing evidence from David Laws , executive chairman of the Education Policy Institute ( EPI ) - an independent evidence-based research body that aims to improve education outcomes for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He said : `` When we consider the vulnerability of many children and the households that they 're in , it would be unsurprising if there was quite a small amount of learning going on at this time in those particular households .

They are now calling on the government to improve the guidance to schools so that headteachers know exactly what they are expected to provide those children who may not be back in school for quite some time .
She said : `` I do think there should have been more guidance and more consistency .
I think there was a role for more support from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the regional school commissioners - to be able to support that level of consistency .
`` And I also think that for those children that are n't going to be back in school before September , which could be many millions of children , there is now a need in this interim period , for more consistency and guidance about what is offered . ''

"A lot will depend how many children get into school before the summer and before September but I do believe there was a need for greater consistency and therefore greater guidance from the government on what was expected."
The committee was also hearing evidence from David Laws, executive chairman of the Education Policy Institute (EPI) - an independent evidence-based research body that aims to improve education outcomes for all children, regardless of social background.

"And I also think that for those children that aren't going to be back in school before September, which could be many millions of children, there is now a need in this interim period, for more consistency and guidance about what is offered."
The government says it is currently providing laptops and tablets for disadvantaged Year 10 pupils, care leavers and children with a social worker who do not already have access to one, ensuring those young people who need it most can access support and continue their education remotely.
It has stressed that some leading state schools have collaborated to open The Oak National Academy - a new initiative backed by £300k of government funding - to deliver video lessons and resources for any teacher in the country to make use of across a broad range of subjects, for every year group from Reception through to Year 10.

“The Education Endowment Foundation’s innovative online tuition pilot is an important example of support in this space and we are considering, with a range of partner organisations, what more is required to support all pupils who have been affected by school closures.”
