James Collins scored his 12th league goal of the season as Crawley clinched their fourth successive home win with a 1-0 victory over struggling Hartlepool.

Collins made amends after missing two good chances to leave Pools with only one win from their past eight League Two matches.
Pools had an early let-off in front of a crowd of 4,266 - Crawley's best of the season - when Collins set up Billy Clifford but he failed to test goalkeeper Adam Bartlett from the edge of the area.
Bartlett came to his side's rescue when he blocked a goal-bound shot from Dean Cox after Josh Laurent had given the ball away.
Crawley appealed in vain for offside when Sean Kavanagh had a shot turned around the post by goalkeeper Glenn Morris.
Pools improved as the half wore on but Crawley created more chances and midfielder Josh Payne shot wide 10 minutes before the break.
Former Shrewsbury striker Collins rose highest to break the deadlock after 62 minutes, heading in a Cox cross.
Pools seldom threatened an equaliser and visiting keeper Bartlett denied Crawley a second when saving from substitute Bobson Bawling late on.

A Labour MP has strongly criticised Scotland's chief constable for letting his force train officers in countries with "appalling" human rights records.

Labour's David Winnick told Phil Gormley that Police Scotland's work in places like Sri Lanka was "hypocrisy".
But Mr Gormley said the force was under "significant budgetary pressure" and needed to seek additional income.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Scottish government had "full knowledge" of the contracts, he added.
Mr Gormley was speaking at a Westminster home affairs committee on Tuesday.
He confirmed Police Scotland's international development unit provided training in Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Sudan, among others.
The force has been training officers in Sri Lanka for several years, despite concerns being raised by Amnesty International about the country's record on torture, arbitrary arrests and deaths in custody.
Mr Winnick asked him: "Sudan has a notorious record of outright brutality... Isn't there a contradiction of this country [the UK] upholding certain principles, human rights and the rest and an organisation like yours having contracts with governments that are totally in the opposite direction?"
The MP also claimed police in the UAE tortured two Britons arrested on drugs charges.
He added: "If they torture British citizens, one can only imagine what they do to their own citizens."
Police Scotland has provided training on child protection and crash investigation to officers in the UAE's police force.
But Mr Gormley said Police Scotland was trying to improve standards of policing around the globe and told Mr Winnick "no concerns had been expressed" about the countries where they worked.
"Clearly I'm a public servant - there is a political dimension to this that is not part of my role," he said.
"There are relationships with some of those governments that you have described. What we are trying to do when we go out and do training is to raise the standards of policing in those environments."
He also said the income provided by international training work was a vital boost to the force's Â£1.1bn budget which it receives from the Scottish government.
Mr Gormley said: "We are under significant budgetary pressure and therefore if we can legitimately raise revenue - either in terms of cost recovery from sporting events or through delivery of training domestically or internationally - then we will seek to do it."
The chief constable denied that the deployment of officers overseas used resources needed in Scotland.
"We wouldn't compromise our ability to deliver at home in order to make relatively modest amounts of money abroad," he said.
Mr Gormley was sworn in as chief constable in January.
His appointment followed Sir Stephen House's decision to step down from the post after coming under pressure over the M9 crash, stop and search, and the role of armed officers.
A statement from Police Scotland later said forces had "provided practical capacity-building training for over 20 years to a range of countries".
It said: "Police Scotland recovers the full cost of this training from the Scottish and UK governments to ensure there is no detriment to the citizens of Scotland."
The statement also said the training was not a response to financial challenges faced by Police Scotland.
It said: "There are significant benefits to our officers and staff and the people of Scotland by Police Scotland being engaged in this activity.
"It supports our ambitions to ensure that our reputation is strengthened on the international stage, demonstrates confidence in Scottish policing and that our officers and staff have the necessary skills and experience to police our increasingly multi-cultural communities in Scotland."
Police Scotland said all of the countries it operated in had full diplomatic relations with the UK.


In one sentence the Bank has revealed it is ready to upgrade its growth forecasts for the UK economy.

"The Committee now expects less of a slowing in UK GDP growth in the second half of 2016," it said, referring to the Monetary Policy Committee of Bank economists and external experts that sets UK interest rates.
The key point - the Bank's internal judgement is that growth in Q3 (that's July to September) will now be between 0.2% and 0.3%, a pretty chunky upgrade on its August forecast of 0.1%.
It's not an official forecast, but given the Q3 growth figure will be announced before the next meeting of the MPC in November, it is as close as we are going to get.
Those who predicted the possibility of a recession following a vote to leave the European Union - which included the governor of the Bank of England - are having to revise their positions.
The UK economy has performed more robustly than many expected.
Consumer confidence has bounced back, and today's strong retail sales figures reveal that the positive figures of July were largely repeated in August.
We are spending while the sun is shining.
Second, inflation has remained subdued, although upward price pressure in the economy is increasing as import costs rise due to the fall in the value of sterling.
The housing market is "less negative than expected" according to the MPC and business surveys of activity from organisations such as the CBI have also "picked up a little".
Employment rates remain at record levels.
And the Bank's own interest rate cut has added to economic confidence.
Looking at 2017, the MPC says it is harder to make a judgement, but if the present economic momentum continues, then expect an upgrade in growth forecasts for next year and 2018 after brutal downgrades last month.
It still says that is considering cutting interest rates again - to 0.1% - but the chances of that must be lower given the better economic news.
The next MPC meeting - and the publication of the quarterly inflation report, the Bank's substantial judgement on how the economy is performing - will be on 3 November.
That's three weeks before Philip Hammond delivers his first Autumn Statement setting out his economic plans.
If growth is stronger than expected, then the chancellor may not feel it as necessary to apply the "fiscal reset" he said he was considering earlier in the summer.
That could mean less borrowing, fewer tax cuts and a more robust statement on when he expects to bring the public finances into surplus.
Although he has abandoned the 2020 target set by George Osborne, those close to Mr Hammond have reminded me in no uncertain terms that Mr Hammond is a "fiscal hawk".
Yes, I am sure the government wants to be seen to be supporting big infrastructure projects, for example, but with the economy looking stronger than expected do not expect a spending splurge to fix a roof that might be slightly less broken than many predicted.


Iran has been at the top of so-called Islamic State's target list for a number of years.

Despite appearing to be a more vulnerable target than European countries and the United States because of its proximity to territory controlled by the jihadist group, Iran had until Wednesday been able to prevent an attack within its borders.
In May 2016, the Iranian authorities announced that they had dismantled 20 terrorist cells and foiled a plot involving 50 different targets throughout the country.
Such operations were the result of an extensive counter-terrorism programme.
Iran also launched an anti-IS messaging campaign, sought to contain the conflict with IS inside Syria and Iraq to stop it reaching Iranian borders, engaged with various political and religious groups, and carried out extensive intelligence operations.
Iran also has a relatively strong and stable state, with notoriously effective security services.
The goal has been to undermine IS and its ideology, while working to prevent attacks on Iranian soil.
But given that Iran was a major target, it was unlikely to escape attacks completely.
Today, IS militants are facing a losing battle in Iraq and are retreating in Syria.
One consequence of this has been a greater focus on carrying out attacks outside those two countries.
In the past few months, the group has upped its anti-Iran propaganda, and aimed to recruit from the country's Sunni minority community.
Wednesday's attack will therefore significantly boost IS morale, particularly as it is the first to have been carried out in Iran - the region's biggest Shia country and a relatively stable one at that.
In Iran, there will be calls for revenge - especially amongst hardliners - making it more difficult for President Hassan Rouhani's administration to reduce the country's involvement in Iraq and Syria.
The attack will also increase public support for the Revolutionary Guards, who are viewed as the protectors of the country, and for Iran's efforts to combat IS, as happened when the jihadist group seized large swathes of territory in Iraq in 2014.
However, Iran is already extensively involved in both Iraq and Syria, and does not have unlimited resources to spare.
In addition, Iran's involvement in Syria is not popular. Rather, it is viewed as a costly endeavour that has not benefitted the country much and resulted in far too many Iranian deaths.

Isco scored twice as a scintillating Spain beat Italy at the Bernabeu to take a huge step towards qualifying for the World Cup from Group G.

The Real Madrid playmaker curled home a free-kick and then smashed in a second as Spain named no recognised striker.
Chelsea's Alvaro Morata came on to add a third from Sergio Ramos' cross.
Italy, who had not lost any qualifier since 2006, trail Spain by three points with a much worse goal difference and are likely to be in the play-offs.
Only the winners of each group qualify directly for Russia, with the eight best ranked second-placed teams playing off.
Spain - who looked back to their best - brought on record goalscorer David Villa for Isco late on, his first cap since retiring from international football and moving to MLS in 2014.
The Azzurri are still four points above third-placed Albania, who beat Liechtenstein 2-0.
Macedonia beat Israel 1-0 in the group's other match.
Ukraine are top of Group I following a 2-0 win over Turkey, new Borussia Dortmund striker Andriy Yarmolenko scoring both goals.
Croatia, who are one point behind them, have a game in hand - after their match with Kosovo was abandoned at 0-0 in the first half because of a waterlogged pitch. It will be replayed on Sunday.
Iceland, behind Croatia on goal difference, lost 1-0 to Finland.

The family of a woman shot dead by two cyclists have paid tribute to the "beautiful" 20-year-old who was "loved by everyone".

Mohanna Abdhou was shot in Malvern Road, Kilburn, on Friday night and died at the scene.
In a statement her family said they were "heartbroken at the loss" of their "loving daughter".
Ms Abdhou, known as Montana, was approached by "two males" on bicycles who fired "shots at her group".
A post-mortem examination on Saturday gave the cause of death as a single gunshot wound.
Her family said: "We are truly saddened, heartbroken and still in complete shock that we have lost a beautiful and caring soul.
"No words can truly express our feelings towards this situation.
"She was a loving daughter, sister and friend. She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly."
Det Ch Insp Andy Partridge said police had found nothing in Ms Abdou's background "which gives any suggestion she would have been a target".
The two suspects have been described as being of medium build and dressed all in dark clothing.
Police said their faces were covered, which "would have made them stand out on such a warm evening".


Striker Daniel Sturridge says he is heartbroken after being ruled out of England's opening Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland on Monday.

The 25-year-old injured his thigh during Friday's training session at St George's Park.
The Football Association confirmed that the Liverpool player will miss next week's game in Basel.
"Heartbroken soul right now," he tweeted. "Nothing worse than being injured."
Sturridge added: "Hopefully be back soon fighting fit for LFC."
An FA spokesman said: "Daniel Sturridge has had a scan and will now return to Liverpool FC for treatment. He will play no part in the forthcoming Switzerland match."
Sturridge, who has scored five goals in 16 international appearances, left Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States early after injuring a hamstring.
He played in the Reds' first three Premier League matches, scoring the winner in the 2-1 opening-day victory over Southampton.
England manager Roy Hodgson will have captain Wayne Rooney, Liverpool's Rickie Lambert and new Arsenal signing Danny Welbeck as his remaining attacking options.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Chelsea central defender Gary Cahill believes the game will be one of England's toughest tests in a qualifying group also featuring Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania and San Marino.
The 28-year-old asked for supporters to show patience as England seek to rebuild following their early World Cup exit and the international retirements of experienced midfielders Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.
"Switzerland will be confident, but it is a great opportunity to bounce back from a disappointing summer," he said.
"Turning around our fortunes is not going to happen overnight - everyone knows and expects that."


Rail passengers will be able to claim compensation for delays of more than 15 minutes under new government plans.

They can currently only make claims when services are delayed by at least 30 minutes.
The Department for Transport said its new scheme will initially launch on Govia Thameslink Railway services in the next few months before being expanded on other networks.
Passenger and rail industry groups said they supported the plans.
The changes would also see compensation of 100% of the single fare ticket value for delays of between 60 and 119 minutes.
After its initial launch on GTR in the coming months, the DfT said the scheme will be expanded - starting with any new South Western, West Midlands and South Eastern franchises.
Eventually it could cover all English rail services, including journeys which cross into Scotland or Wales. The Welsh government is also planning an improved compensation deal for the franchises it controls.
GTR operates Southern services, which have suffered months of disruption and strikes on rail routes in south London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling described the proposals as a "major improvement for passengers".
"Together with the Consumer Rights Act, this policy shows we are putting passengers first and making sure they receive due compensation for poor service," he said.
Commenting on the plans, Anthony Smith from watchdog Transport Focus said the measures "will go a long way to help build back passenger trust".
"Train companies need to do more to alert passengers to compensation. Passengers expect the process to become smarter and automatic, taking the onus off them to have to claim in the first place - automatic Delay Repay is the way forward," he said.
A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train companies, said: "We know that every minute counts for passengers and we understand the argument for wanting to start the compensation clock ticking earlier, especially for commuter services.
"Train companies are paying out more in compensation for delays, and making it easier to apply for. A new nationwide campaign to raise awareness of how to claim money back for delays starts next week."
The DfT said all future rail franchises will be required to introduce the compensation policy, and officials said they will explore opportunities to roll it out for all franchises during the current parliament.
The Welsh government intends to introduce a similar compensation policy for its next rail service contract and Metro services.
Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates said: "It is important that passengers in Wales receive a reliable rail service that enables them to get to their destination on time. We believe that when delays do occur passengers should be adequately compensated."


Former Republic of Ireland defender Alan Kernaghan has resigned as manager of Glentoran following Tuesday night's League Cup defeat by Annagh United.

The Irish Premiership side were embarrassingly humbled 3-2 by the County Armagh minnows who are bottom of Championship One without a point.
Glentoran said ex-Middlesborough and Manchester City player Kernaghan, 49, tendered his resignation afterwards.
Former manager Roy Coyle has taken temporary charge of the Belfast team.
The Glens lie eighth in the Premiership table, with two wins and three defeats from their opening five fixtures.
The East Belfast outfit narrowly missed out on qualification for the Europa League last season, losing 3-2 to Cliftonville in a play-off for the final place in the European competition.
Kernaghan, who has managed Clyde and Dundee, had only been in charge at the Oval for nine months, having been appointed in November 2015 following Eddie Patterson's dismissal.
Glentoran were the only top flight team to lose in Tuesday's second round matches, the other 11 all seeing off lower-ranked opponents.
Immediately after the shock defeat by Annagh, Kernaghan spoke to Radio Ulster's Sportsound and indicated he would be remaining in charge.
"It is a results business and I understand that, and we have had two or three poor results," he said.
"Tonight our performance was better than it has been, but our problem all season has been scoring goals.
"I feel the fans' frustration more than they would believe.
"They vented their feelings in an audible manner, but I cannot do that. I have to try to keep the players going and motivate them.
"That is my job and that is what I am doing."
The East Belfast club's next fixture is away to Ards in the Danske Bank Premiership on 10 September.


Woking ended Eastleigh's slim hopes of reaching the National League play-offs as they sealed victory at Laithwaite Community Stadium.

Eastleigh needed to win by three clear goals to have any chance of making the last spot, but were undone by Woking.
The hosts were 2-0 up when Keiran Murtagh turned in after a scramble and John Goddard poked in a second.
Matt Tubbs deflected in Josh Payne's shot to give Eastleigh hope but they could not force an equaliser.


Ken Livingstone will learn later whether he faces Labour disciplinary action over his comments about Adolf Hitler.

The former London mayor was hauled before a disciplinary panel after claiming the Nazi leader supported Zionism in the 1930s.
He could be expelled if Labour bosses decide his comments were "grossly detrimental" to the party.
On Tuesday morning he blamed the Jewish Chronicle and Labour MPs for misreporting his comments.
And he said that if he was expelled from Labour he would take legal action to fight the decision.
Mr Livingstone has been suspended from the Labour Party since the row erupted in April 2016, when he was defending MP Naz Shah over claims she had made anti-Semitic social media posts.
The comment that sparked the row, was made to BBC London. The former mayor said: "When Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews."
What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Tuesday morning, he said it was a "lie" to say he had said Hitler was a Zionist, saying this had been the cause of offence.
He has repeatedly defended his version of events, saying there had been "real collaboration" between Nazis and Zionists before World War Two.
But Jeremy Newmark, of the Jewish Labour Movement, said Mr Livingstone's "seemingly consistent need to calibrate his language to cause maximum hurt and pain to Jewish people and Holocaust survivors in this country has created a situation where there can no longer be a place for him inside our party".
Mr Newmark said his organisation would raise the matter at Labour's annual conference in September if Mr Livingstone was allowed to stay in the party.

A Cambodian property tycoon has been jailed for a savage attack on a well-known actress which was caught on CCTV and sparked outrage.

Sok Bun, 37, was sentenced to three years - all but 10 months of it suspended - for the assault on Ek Socheatha, popularly known as SaSa.
SaSa had posted video of last year's attack at a restaurant in Phnom Penh.
Sok Bun fled to Singapore but returned after Cambodian PM Hun Sen said he should turn himself in.
Sok Bun could serve just another four months, given the amount of time he has already spent in prison.
SaSa's lawyer, Puth Theavy, told Associated Press: "My client said she wanted the case to end at this time, so she will not appeal the verdict. She is accepting the verdict and said it is fair for her."
SaSa had earlier withdrawn a compliant of attempted murder, amid Cambodian media reports that out-of-court-brokered damages had been agreed.
The attack took place on 2 July last year at a Japanese restaurant in the capital.
SaSa said she was trying to protect a friend from Sok Bun's advances.
CCTV footage shows SaSa being dragged off a chair and on to the floor.
She is then kicked in the head, and when she tries to get up, she is punched and stamped on over the course of a minute.
At one point, a bodyguard draws a gun and points it at her head as the attack continues. It ends when a restaurant worker pulls the attacker away.
SaSa then obtained the video from the restaurant and posted it on her Facebook page
The footage horrified the public, in a nation where the rich and wealthy are often seen as beyond the law.
Mr Hun Sen weighed in after Sok Bun fled.
"Don't think that because you have money you can escape," the prime minister said. "What you have done is intolerable."
Sok Bun was arrested at the airport when he returned and was charged with violent conduct.
He was absent from court on Monday due to sickness.
Sok Bun, the former head of Cambodia's estate agents' association, was also fined about $1,500.


Tourism agency VisitScotland has restored the five-star status of an Aberdeen hotel following a probe into the owner's homophobic comments.

Stewart Spence used a derogatory term about homosexuals at The Marcliffe Hotel during a Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT) Scotland event in October.
Mr Spence later said he wanted to "sincerely apologise".
VisitScotland said the Marcliffe had responded with assurances about its equality policy.
Chris McCoy, equality diversity manager at VisitScotland said: "Following VisitScotland's request to confirm in writing that the Marcliffe Hotel does not operate any kind of discriminatory policies that would contravene the Equality Act 2010, the business has responded within the set time period to give us those assurances and a clear commitment to their equality policy.
"The policy covers all the key areas, including LGBTI customers and employees, and clearly sets out both the responsibility of the hotel management and the staff.
"On that basis, we are pleased to be able to remove the suspension and re-list the hotel on VisitScotland.com, including the 5 star rating.
"We look forward to continuing the positive working relationship that The Marcliffe and VisitScotland have enjoyed for many years."
HIT Scotland said homophobic views and comments were made about the industry during the event and that it was "shocking".
A source who was at the dinner said "jaws dropped".
Mr Spence later said in a statement: "I made some very ill-advised comments at the dinner and I am absolutely mortified.
"I would like to sincerely apologise for the offence caused. I don't know what I was thinking."
The hotel - a popular venue for wedding receptions and functions - has been at its North Deeside Road location since 1993.


The parents of one of the victims of serial child killer Robert Black have said they prayed for the murderer and took no pleasure in his prison death.

Jennifer Cardy, from Northern Ireland, was one of four young girls murdered by Black, who died in jail on Tuesday.
The nine-year-old was abducted, assaulted and killed near her home in Ballinderry, County Antrim.
Police in England are "devastated" that Black died before he could be charged with another girl's murder.
The Devon and Cornwall force said it was five weeks from submitting a file to prosecutors on Black linking him to the 1978 killing of Genette Tate.
She vanished while delivering newspapers in Aylesbeare, east Devon, in 1978. Her body has never been found.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Cardy's parents, Pat and Andy, spoke of how their Christian faith had influenced their attitude to Black.
Mrs Cardy said she wished she could have met Black before his death as she believed he may have been responsible for other unsolved child murders.
"Had I been able to talk, just as a woman to a man, and ask him where did he throw or fling or put the bodies of many more little girls that he killed," she said.
"That hasn't been proved, I know that, but there are many children's murders, little girls' murders with his hallmark."
The Cardy family were informed by police on Tuesday evening that 68-year-old Black had died at Maghaberry high-security prison in County Antrim.
It is believed he died of natural causes.
Black had a history of abducting, abusing and murdering young girls.
In addition to his four murder convictions for killing Jennifer Cardy, Sarah Harper, Susan Maxwell and Caroline Hogg, Black had also been convicted of other attempted abductions and was suspected of other unsolved crimes against children.
Jennifer was nine in August 1981 when Black kidnapped and killed her close to her home in Ballinderry, County Antrim.
BBC NI reporter Gordon Adair's Cardy trial memories:
Rarely, if ever, have I seen an outpouring of emotion like that triggered when the jury foreman at Armagh Crown Court uttered the single word 'guilty' in 2011. Thirty years after her death, justice had finally caught up with Jennifer Cardy's killer.
Jennifer's family, jurors, journalists, and even detectives wept. The only person who showed no emotion was Robert Black.
He sat - as he had done throughout the trial - gazing towards the front of the court. No matter how horrific or distressing the evidence had been, he demonstrated not a single flicker of concern; not for Jennifer, not for her family.
Black never accepted his guilt, never showed any remorse, never apologised. At his sentencing, his barrister took the unusual step of standing up, saying: "I intend to say nothing in mitigation" and sitting back down.
Looking back now on Black's life there is, again, little to be said in mitigation.
Mrs Cardy told BBC News NI that she feels no bitterness towards her daughter's murderer and would have liked to have spoken to him before his death in jail in a bid to change his "wasted" life, that was full of "depravity".
"As Christians, Robert Black could have had what I have and what Andrew has, and our whole family - that is just the beautiful peace of God," she said.
"I have actually prayed for Robert Black that he could come to this and therefore, his life that produced no good could now begin to change. I would have loved that for Robert Black."
Mr Cardy said: "I've often said that he stole the life from our daughter but we would not allow him to steal our lives. We were determined to live on and live on for the family that we had, but the hurt is still there.
"We miss Jennifer but we have to move on, we have to keep going."


University College London's student union (UCLU) has become the latest institution to ban Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.

It follows a ban by The University of London Union (ULU) in September.
Critics claim Blurred Lines refers to non-consensual sex in some of the song's lyrics, a suggestion Thicke says is "ridiculous".
Edinburgh, Leeds, Kingston, Derby and West Scotland Universities have also banned the song.
The University of London Union was forced to apologise after the track was played by a DJ at a "frat party" after its ban was introduced.
UCLU Women's Officer Beth Sutton said in a tweet last week: "UCLU have just passed motion to not play blurred lines in union spaces & events. Solidarity with all survivors!"
An advert featuring the song and models from the video was also banned from daytime TV by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
Robin Thicke said he believed his single was being banned by people who didn't understand the song, which includes the chorus lines: "I hate these blurred lines, I know you want it" and "must wanna get nasty".
"I don't think people got it out here [in the UK] in those positions of power," he said.
"I think the kids get it. I just have to deal with that.
"I wrote it about my wife [Paula Patton]. She's my good girl.
"And I know she wants it because we've been together for 20 years."

Victims and people with knowledge of abuse at a former children's home on the Isle of Man have been urged to come forward by the Manx government.

A committee will examine claims of abuse at Knottfield Home in Douglas, which closed in 1983.
Tim Baker MHK told Tynwald, "government has not properly investigated or acknowledged what went on" at the home.
Police from the UK examined allegations in the 1990s, which ended in a former employee being imprisoned.
Last year, additional complainants came forward and a Manx police investigation took place.
One of the complainants was a constituent of Mr Baker.
The MHK told Tynwald: "Whilst I understand that the evidence was strong the matter did not, however, proceed to trial.
"I understand that this was primarily because of the age and medical condition of the accused."
The Manx parliamentary committee, which has been asked to reveal its findings by December, has also been instructed to "investigate the adequacy of current procedures to protect from abuse children in care" and to issue its report next March.
A government spokesman said all information submitted to the committee would be treated in confidence.
Written evidence "relating to policy matters" may be published, however.
Mr Baker added: "The experience has had, and still has, damaging consequences for the victims - it is not something that has gone away.
"Many have had no opportunity for counselling, support or assistance to work through or to move on from the experiences that they suffered whilst in the care of the government - they need to achieve closure and for this they need our help."
The deadline for written submissions is 12:00 BST on 30 August.


Parents have been told not to talk to teachers at a Glasgow primary school, when dropping off or collecting children.

Sandwood Primary in Penilee said there had been a rising number of incidents of family members shouting at staff, or using offensive language.
Glasgow City Council said a minority of parents had caused problems.
The school has set up a new system for contacting teachers and making appointments to discuss concerns.
The head teacher has sent a letter to parents and carers saying the procedures have been implemented "with regret".
But she said she was not prepared to allow staff to deal with anyone acting aggressively or inappropriately, or for pupils to have to witness such behaviour.
She said anyone breaking the rules would be issued a written warning, and that "this could result in not being allowed within the grounds of the school."
The letter said the school was "more than happy to speak with parents/carers" and had operated an open doors policy.
But a rising school roll and commitments of senior staff meant an appointment "is required."
In a statement a Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: "As the school roll has increased significantly over the last couple of years, the head teacher has devised a playground layout for parents and carers to collect their children at home time that will help in the smooth running of the school day and ease any congestion.
"As in any Glasgow school, inappropriate behaviour towards staff is unacceptable, will not be tolerated and action taken to set a good example to our children and young people."
The city council added that there was no intention to suggest that a parent could not say hello to a teacher.
However, it believed the school gate was never the best place to discuss a child's school performance. Any parent who wanted to do this should make an appointment with the school.
The council also stressed its duty of care to protect staff from any aggressive or inappropriate behaviour.


A promising football player at Florida State University has been kicked off the team after a video showed him punching a woman in a bar.

First year student De'Andre Johnson, 19, was initially suspended but was dropped from the team on Monday after prosecutors released the video.
He was charged with misdemeanour battery after the incident on 24 June at a Tallahassee bar.
The 21-year-old woman suffered bruising and swelling to her face, police said.
Mr Johnson, a quarterback nicknamed "Mr Football", was a standout player at First Coast High School.
He graduated early to play for Florida State, although he was not expected to become the starting quarterback in the coming season.
Florida State has one of the top university football programmes in the US. Former quarterback Jameis Winston was the number one pick in April's National Football League draft.
The security camera footage shows Mr Johnson and the woman arguing in a crowded bar. After the woman strikes Mr Johnson with her hand, he punches her in the face, throwing her off balance.
Mr Johnson remains a student at Florida State.
His family has hired Jose Baez, a prominent Florida defence lawyer.
"While it is clear from the video that De'Andre Johnson was not the initial aggressor, his family wants to take the lead in helping him learn and grow from this experience," Mr Baez said.


The first and deputy first ministers have welcomed a breakthrough in a long-running parade dispute in north Belfast.

The Twaddell Avenue protest has been ongoing since July 2013.
On Friday night, talks facilitators the Rev Harold Good and Jim Roddy released a statement saying a resolution had been found.
Over the weekend, they confirmed that the loyalist protest camp will be dismantled next Saturday, 1 October.
The cessation of the protest will follow the completion of the outstanding Ligoniel Lodges' return parade at 08:30 BST on Saturday.
The statement said that following the completion of this parade, the Ligoniel Lodges will "instigate a voluntary moratorium on applying for a [future] return parade.
"This moratorium would allow for a process between the lodges and [nationalist residents group] CARA to seek agreement on future return parades and if agreement is achieved, the moratorium would be lifted," said the statement.
First Minister Arlene Foster called it "a significant step".
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness commended the two facilitators.
The dispute - which has cost an estimated £20m to police over the past three years - began after a Parades Commission determination not to allow the return leg to pass a section of the Crumlin Road in 2013.
Discussions aimed at resolving the disagreement between the Orange Order and Cara have ended in failure in the past.
In June, a proposed deal to end the dispute collapsed.
However, the statement issued on Friday night said: "We are pleased to announce that a local agreement has been reached to bring an end to the difficulties surrounding parades and protests in the Twaddell/Crumlin Road area.
"The agreement has the full support of the three lodges and the Crumlin Ardoyne Residents Association."
CARA spokesperson Joe Marley said the residents group "has always been of the view that inclusive and meaningful dialogue was the way to achieve a resolution" to the issue.
He added: "For some months now we have engaged in a process with the local Orange lodges and a number of proposals came from those discussions which we felt could bring a resolution.
"On the back of those discussions, we have committed to ending protests at existing morning parades in return for a moratorium on return parades following a parade on Saturday.
"We have also agreed to participate in a community forum."
But another nationalist residents group, the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective (Garc), has made it clear that it is opposed to the deal.
The group's Dee Fennell said: "In our opinion, this goes against the wishes of the vast majority of people living in Ardoyne, Mountainview and the Dales."
A Belfast priest involved in negotiations for the deal said it marks a "radical change in mindset".
Father Gary Donegan said the intensive negotiations had been going on quietly: "People have had to reconsider drawing lines in the sand. They've had to rub the lines away and make major compromise and that's welcomed by the vast majority, although there are some who have had difficulty with it."
Politicians and police have reacted warmly to news of the breakthrough.
First Minister and DUP leader Arlene Foster said the agreement was "a welcome development" and "a significant step".
"I said at the start of the summer that we all have a responsibility to show leadership and to continue to seek resolutions to contentious issues through discussion and to ensure any difficulties are identified and resolved peacefully.  By doing so, we become stronger as a community and a country," she said.
"I thank all those involved.  We want to build a future that is respectful, inclusive and vibrant."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said: "I commend Reverend Harold Good and Jim Roddy who have worked positively and considerately with everyone in the local community to reach this agreement.
"We must resolve disagreements regarding parades, identity, culture and tradition through dialogue, so that difference is celebrated and respected.
"The next phase of our political and peace processes must be the development of a real reconciliation process.
"As leaders we will work with Executive colleagues to ensure tolerance, equality and mutual respect are key tenets of our new shared future."
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire also welcomed the news.
"I commend the representatives of the Orange Order and Cara for their efforts in negotiating a solution.
"This is a clear demonstration that local dialogue can work, and offers up the best chance of resolving disputes like this."
Northern Ireland Justice Minister Claire Sugden paid tribute to those involved in brokering the agreement.
"I look forward to seeing this new agreement implemented and an end to the protest," she said.
The Republic of Ireland's minister for foreign affairs, Charlie Flanagan, praised the "spirit of cooperation and mutual respect" that brought about agreement.


Some 800,000 people have turned out in Barcelona and other towns in Catalonia on a day of rallies by nationalists wishing to break with Spain.

Police say 540,000 people rallied in Barcelona, the capital of the region in north-east Spain, while the rest gathered in four other Catalan towns.
But numbers were down sharply compared with last year's event, when 1.4 million rallied in Barcelona alone.
Spain has consistently blocked attempts to hold a referendum on secession.
Catalan regional president Carles Puigdemont had urged support for "converting Catalonia into an independent state".
Divisions have also emerged between the separatist movement's main political grouping in the Catalan parliament, the Together for Yes coalition, and its radical leftwing ally, the CUP.
Mr Puigdemont, who took power in January, faces a confidence vote on 28 September.
He advocates a negotiated withdrawal from Spain.
When Catalan nationalists held an unofficial referendum on independence in November 2014, 80% of those who voted backed independence.
Sunday is the "Diada", Catalonia's national day. It commemorates the moment in 1714 when Barcelona fell to troops loyal to Spain's King Philip V during the War of the Spanish Succession.
"We have to move towards the final outcome," 58-year-old office clerk Xavier Borras, who planned to attend the rally in Barcelona with a friend, told AFP news agency.
"We can't wait any longer."
Spain's leading parties, deadlocked in their efforts to form a new government after two inconclusive general elections since December, have shown little sympathy for Catalan grievances.
The region of 7.5 million people makes up 16% of Spain's population and accounts for almost 19% of national GDP.


All hospitals in England would have consultants on duty seven days a week by 2020 under a future Conservative government, David Cameron is to pledge.

Mr Cameron has begun speaking at the party's spring forum, and is due to say more hospitals must provide top-level treatment at the weekend.
The move, aimed at cutting weekend mortality rates, builds on plans set out by health service managers.
Labour said Tory plans for "extreme" spending cuts threatened the NHS.
It has put the health service at the forefront of its own election campaign, with leader Ed Miliband promising on Friday to cap the amount of profit private firms can make from the NHS in England.
Speaking at the forum in Manchester later, Mr Cameron will warn that figures show patients are "more likely to die" if they are admitted at weekends.
Official studies suggest mortality rates for those admitted on Saturdays and Sundays are 11% and 16% higher respectively than for those admitted on Wednesdays.
While Mr Cameron will praise hospitals already providing top-level weekend services, he will say coverage is often patchy, with some key resources "not up and running and key decision-makers not always there".
Hospitals across England, he will say, should be expected to offer consultant-level services at the weekend, particularly in accident and emergency, and in supporting urgent care services such as diagnostics.
Mr Cameron will say: "Illness does not respect working hours. Heart attacks, major accidents, babies - these things don't just come from nine to five.
"With a future Conservative government, we would have a truly seven-day NHS.
"Already millions of people can see a GP seven days a week but by 2020 I want this for everyone... [to be] the first country in the world to make it happen."
This, he will say, will reduce the anxiety for patients and help the NHS to meet the growing demand from an ageing population.
By Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent
On the eve of the campaign proper, David Cameron has come to a city with no Conservative MPs to talk about a subject Labour claims as its own.
An odd choice? Tory strategists insist not.
Not far from here, the Conservatives hold marginal seats such as Bury North. Mr Cameron's hopes of returning to Downing Street hinge on keeping those and winning others.
This spring forum is about fighting back against Labour on the NHS.
Polls show a clear, large consistent lead for Ed Miliband's party on the NHS. It is the foundation stone of Labour's campaign.
But the Conservatives are desperate to chip away at it with promises of protected real terms increases in funding and an extra £2bn a year.
The Conservatives are committing to providing full weekend hospital care in England - in line with the NHS's own five-year plan.
The big question of course is 'where will the money come from?', but this is about politics.
This is an attempt to try to neutralise the NHS and enable the Conservatives to return to what they want to be talking about - the economy.
Andy Burnham, Labour's shadow health secretary, said the plans were not credible without investment in extra NHS staff.
"With the NHS in increasing financial distress, David Cameron must set out clearly how it will be paid for," he said.
"His extreme plans for spending cuts will mean they won't be able to protect the NHS."
Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS England's medical director, has said the case for seven-day healthcare is "absolutely compelling, both clinically and morally".
But Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the British Medical Association, said that the Conservatives' funding commitment was not even enough to maintain existing services, and that a funding gap of up to £30bn a year was scheduled to open up under current spending plans.
"The £2bn extra funding that has been pledged falls far short of what is needed to deliver existing services, let alone fund additional care," he said. "
"Without a detailed, fully-costed plan to provide the staff and resources needed to deliver more seven-day services, this is at best an empty pledge and at worst shameless political game-playing with the NHS ahead of the election."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said government reforms of the NHS were saving £1.5bn a year but that the NHS "will need more money".
He added: "The NHS themselves have done the sums and they say if we don't change the way we work, we will need an extra £30bn a year by 2020.
"They say that sum can be reduced with efficiency changes, and we're backing that plan."
New clinical standards set out in 2013 require hospitals to provide seven-day access to diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, ultrasound, MRI scans and pathology, as well as providing access to multi-disciplinary teams, which include expert nurses and physiotherapists.
In its blueprint for services over the next five years, published last October, NHS England said hospital patients should have access to seven-day services by 2020 - "where this makes a clinical difference to outcomes".
At the same time, NHS England warned the health service could face an £8bn shortfall in funding by 2020.
The Conservatives have pledged to guarantee a real-term increase in funding for the NHS during the next Parliament, extending the ring-fence in place for the past five years.
Labour has said it will spend £2.5bn more than its opponents.


Partick Thistle have signed Coventry City defender Jordan Turnbull on a season-long loan deal.

The 22-year-old becomes the Scottish Premiership club's fourth signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Jamie Sneddon, Niall Keown and Blair Spittal.
Turnbull's arrival came as captain Abdul Osman said Thistle needed more new recruits.
"I would say we need some new signings if we're going to compete for the top six again," said the midfielder.
Having graduated from Southampton's youth academy, Turnbull joined the Sky Blues in August on a three-year contract.
He made 46 appearances as Coventry were relegated to League Two.
During his time at Southampton, Turnbull spent two seasons on loan at Swindon Town, where he was named the club's player of the year in 2015.
Turnbull won a solitary England Under-20 cap and bolsters Thistle's defensive options after Liam Lindsay was sold to Barnsley earlier in the summer.
"We've obviously lost our centre-back who did very well for us last season, Liam, and the gaffer's working hard to bring in new recruitment," said Osman.
"But I'm sure the gaffer is doing his homework.
"We are a club on the up. Since I've been here, every year we've progressed.
"We've signed some good players and the recruitment's been good."
Osman thought that success this season would be to repeat that top-six finish.
"There's no reason why we can't do it," he said. "I'm quite confident.
"It was a great feeling, the fans loved it and the buzz around the place was amazing.
"It is a harder league this year, obviously with Hibs coming back up.
"But we're growing all the time and I think we can still do it.
"We just have to start the season off sharp. Last season, we started off slow - and the season before - and we can't afford to do that this year.
"Hopefully in the first 10 games, you're going to see a different Thistle."
The Glasgow side travel to Easter Road to face promoted Hibernian in their Premiership opener on Saturday.
"They are a big team in Scotland and it's going to be difficult, but it's a game we can go and win," added Osman.

A British tourist who died while mountaineering in Peru recorded poetry and left it on his father's computer.

Harry Greaves went on a solo walk on 7 April to spend his 29th birthday two days later alone in the Andes.
His body was found in a 40-metre crevice on 20 April and his family believe he lost his footing and fell.
Simon Greaves said his son had sought quiet reflection before embarking on the next stage of his life.
The recordings of poems entitled A Life Lived In Love, This Is My Dream and What It Is To Be A Man, were of great comfort, he said.
Harry, who lived in Wrexham but was from Bronygarth near Oswestry, Shropshire was due to fly back on Saturday.
Simon Greaves said: "He had reached a new level of confidence and maturity and was clear about his aims.
"All the pictures of him from Peru show him looking handsome, fit and happy.
"Amongst Harry's things we found his notebook.
"It contained a pressed flower, butterfly and feather, along with two photographs of his dear nephew, Edward.
"It outlined his hopes for the next phase of his life, notes on his experience in Peru and a few draft poems.
"Given how near he was to death, they are particularly poignant."
Harry's mother, Sarah, went to see his body and was "relieved to see that his face, though bruised, was full of peace", said Mr Greaves
"He had broken multiple bones in the fall and his end would have been swift."
Harry was found after his friends and family, assisted by the Lucie Blackman Trust and police, mounted a search using a helicopter and drones.
A fundraising page to aid the search for Harry raised more than Â£33,000, which will now be donated to charities, his family said.


President Barack Obama has blasted Donald Trump's recent remarks about women, saying they would be intolerable even for someone applying for a job at a 7-Eleven convenience store.

At a rally supporting Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama also urged senior Republicans to formally withdraw their endorsement of Mr Trump as presidential candidate.
Many top Republicans have distanced themselves from Mr Trump over a video in which he boasts of groping women.
Mr Trump accused them of disloyalty.
He was particularly scathing about House Speaker Paul Ryan whom he described as a "weak and ineffective" leader.
Addressing a campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Tuesday evening, Mr Obama referred to Mr Trump's crude remarks about women, saying: "Now you find a situation in which the guy says stuff that nobody would find tolerable if they were applying for a job at 7-Eleven."
He said: "You don't have to be a husband or a father to say that's not right. You just have to be a decent human being."
Mr Obama questioned how senior Republican politicians could still want Mr Trump to be president.
"The fact is that now you've got people saying: 'We strongly disagree, we really disapprove... but we're still endorsing him.' They still think he should be president, that doesn't make sense to me," he told the crowd.
Mr Obama was interrupted several times by anti-Clinton campaigners but seemed unfazed, saying: "This is democracy at work. This is great."
The hecklers were escorted from the venue by security officials.
Thousands waited for more than six hours to hear Barack Obama speak in what could very well be his last visit to the battleground state as president.
The sun was out, and so were the hecklers.
The first two interrupted the president early in his address. Mr Obama, seemingly unfazed by it all, waited for the crowd to finish their booing before telling the hecklers with a wry grin to "get their own rally".
It wasn't long before Mr Obama was interrupted again. This time, the heckler was further back in the crowd. The man walked straight past us as he left, wearing a T-shirt declaring "Hillary for prison 2016".
In the third and final interruption, a man entered the cordoned-off area, screamed something at the president and tore a Clinton-Kaine campaign sign in two.
The man was escorted away and President Obama carried on smoothly, handling it all with good humour. The Greensboro crowd seemed to appreciate the laugh, in a campaign that's turned decidedly nasty.
In another development, Hillary Clinton's Campaign Chairman John Podesta has said that Russia was behind an apparent hacking of his emails and may have been colluding with the Trump campaign.
He said on Tuesday that the FBI was investigating the hacking of the emails that were published by WikiLeaks.
The 2005 video released on Friday revealed Mr Trump describing how he had sought to have sex with a married woman and making other sexually aggressive comments about women.
Nearly half of the 331 incumbent Republican senators, House members and governors have condemned the lewd remarks and about 10% have called for Mr Trump to drop out of the race, according to Reuters news agency.
On Monday, Mr Ryan said he would not defend Mr Trump over the remarks.
He told fellow House Republicans he would instead focus on congressional elections to ensure Republicans could maintain legislative control.
Mr Trump fired back in a string of tweets, saying the "shackles" had been removed, allowing him to "fight for America the way I want to". He said he neither wanted nor needed Mr Ryan's support.

Mr Trump said "disloyal" Republicans "come at you from all sides. They don't know how to win - I will teach them!"
He attacked Senator John McCain, who has denounced Mr Trump's conduct and faces a close re-election battle in Arizona, as "foul-mouthed".
Despite a widening divide within the Republican Party, some members insist they are sticking by Mr Trump.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he was "really disturbed" by Mr Trump's comments about women but still planned to support him, saying the election was "about bigger issues than that".
Texas Senator and former rival Ted Cruz also said he would still cast his ballot for Mr Trump, telling a Texas TV station that Mrs Clinton was an "absolute disaster".
Mr Trump delivered a gaffe while addressing supporters in Florida on Tuesday, telling them to go out and vote on the wrong date.
ABC News footage showed him saying: "Go and register. Make sure you get out and vote, November 28." The election is on 8 November.
A recent PRRI/Atlantic poll suggested Mrs Clinton holds a 49-38 lead over her opponent.

Women's support groups have been "held hostage" by ministers keen to pass a new law against violence without any changes, Plaid Cymru has claimed.

The Violence Against Women Bill was passed without objections after opposition parties accepted measures on anti-bullying guidance in schools.
Plaid AM Simon Thomas claimed groups which asked AMs to amend the bill later backed down under government pressure.
The Welsh government has been asked to comment on the claims.
Mr Thomas was critical of the Wales Violence Against Women action group, a coalition of charities including Welsh Women's Aid and the NSPCC.
He said: "They were coming to opposition groups, saying 'put down these amendments and please work in this way', and then did a volte face when they were reminded, I think by the Welsh government, about where their priorities should lie.
"I think they were held hostage. This has been a deeply despondent experience for me as an assembly member."
During the Senedd debate on Tuesday, Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews told AMs that lobbying on the issue had been "passionate", but he did not regard any representations as "bullying".
"We need to focus on the issues at stake - domestic abuse, sexual violence, violence against women and other forms of gender-based violence.  That is what this bill is about."
A spokeswoman for Wales Violence Against Women said: "We are proud to have run a positive campaign and that all AMs have listened to what we had to say, and now our focus will be on making sure the act helps reduce violence against women in Wales".


A 16-year-old boy has died after falling from cliffs on the Northumberland coast, police have said.

Emergency crews were called at about 03:00 BST and recovered the teenager from the sea after he fell from Spittal Point, Berwick.
The boy was taken to Wansbeck Hospital, in Ashington, where he later died.
"Enquiries are in the early stages to establish the circumstances," a police spokesman said.


Three wards have been shut and 64 patients are ill following an outbreak of flu at a hospital.

Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge says flu is affecting patients as well as those in public areas and has urged people to stay away.
"The hospital is full and we're struggling to cope. Some patients have had to be diverted to other hospitals.
"We have high numbers of people with flu across the hospital," medical director Dr Jag Ahluwalia said.
"For coughs, colds and flu-like illnesses, people are better off at home, resting and drinking plenty of fluids," Dr Ahluwalia added.
"We need people to stay away from the hospital and ask themselves - do you need to be here?"
Influenza is a virus so cannot be treated with antibiotics and in most cases it will run its course, the hospital said.


David Moyes has been sacked as manager of La Liga strugglers Real Sociedad a day short of his one-year anniversary at the Spanish club.

The 52-year-old steered the Basque team to 12th spot last season after taking charge on 10 November 2014.
But La Real are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference and Friday's 2-0 defeat at Las Palmas was their fourth in five league games.
A Sociedad statement said they had decided to terminate Moyes's contract.
Assistant boss Billy McKinlay has also been sacked.
Former Barcelona assistant coach Eusebio Sacristan was named as Moyes' replacement, arriving on a deal that runs until June 2017.
The club are 16th and face Europa League winners Sevilla and European champions Barcelona in their next two La Liga games after the international break.
The move to Sociedad was the Scot's first job after he was sacked as Manchester United manager in April 2014 following a 10-month spell in charge.
Moyes, who spent 11 years at Everton before succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, signed a contract to June 2016 and became Sociedad's fourth British manager.
Harry Lowe was in charge for five years from 1930, while John Toshack had three spells in charge, with the last coming to an end in 2002.
Toshack's fellow Welshman Chris Coleman lasted less than seven months following his appointment in July 2007.


Education Secretary John Swinney has defended Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence as pupils prepare to receive exam results on Tuesday.

The Scottish government is implementing a series of reforms to how schools are run and pupil performance measured.
There have been calls for a more consistent approach to how changes to assessments are brought in.
Mr Swinney said his goal was for schools to spend "less time on assessment and more time on learning."
The Scottish government has set out a series of reforms to education governance, with the latest set of "sweeping new powers" for schools aimed at "freeing our teachers to teach".
Mr Swinney said it would take time to see how the reforms bed in, but he said they should make "a real difference" to the workloads of teachers.
He said: "We'll see over time the impact of the reforms that I've set out. What we've done since I became education secretary is to provide the absolute clarity on the delivery of the curriculum that the teaching profession were looking for, while maintaining the broad reach of Curriculum for Excellence, which is an internationally-acclaimed curriculum.
"We've undertaken very swift measures to reduce the workload of teachers. I recognise from my conversations with teachers around the country that that was a particular problem, and the changes to national assessments which begin in the forthcoming academic year will, I think, see a real difference in the workload of teachers around the country."
Part of the effort to cut teacher workload has been to scrap some mandatory "unit assessments" which are marked by teachers before pupils sit their exams. These come into effect in the coming academic term, but there have been concerns they may make some exams last longer.
And one secondary teacher, Olivia Drennan, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that schools would still be able to put pupils forward for assessments, calling for a consistent approach.
She said: "If the agreement from the cabinet secretary is that unit assessments go, the unit assessments need to go. Leaving them there as potential stand-alone units that schools can choose to do means that some schools will chose to do them, some departments will choose to do them, some children will get advantages that others don't have.
"We need a consistent approach to this."
Speaking on the same programme, Mr Swinney conceded that some exams may last longer, but said the balance between coursework and exams would be maintained.
He said: "What we have to make sure, what the Scottish Qualifications Authority has to make sure, is that our qualifications are strong and robust and demonstrate the quality of learning that young people have undertaken.
"What we'll see as a consequence of the changes that I've introduced is that young people will spend less time on assessment, and more time on learning. That's the way it should be in my view.
"Yes, in some circumstances exams have been extended, but the balance between exams and coursework has been maintained, so that young people, in what they do during the year in all subjects except for maths, will be to amass that portfolio of evidence and expertise that is fundamental to CfE to ensure they deliver the strong qualifications to which they are entitled."
Scotland's performance has been declining in international education rankings, with the government's own figures recording falling literacy scores, and there have been concerns about the attainment gap between pupils from different backgrounds.
This has led to calls from the Scottish Conservatives for a "root and branch review" of CfE, with leader Ruth Davidson describing the SNP's record on education as an "absolute disgrace" and a "mark of shame".
Mr Swinney pointed to a 2015 review by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) which found there was "much to be positive about" in CfE.
He said: "The judgements that were made a long time before I became education secretary about Curriculum for Excellence were the correct judgements, and they were arrived at in partnership between government and local authorities, trade unions, parents, teachers and pupils, right across the education system within Scotland.
"We have a strong and robust curriculum in place; what we have to make sure is that we're constantly focused on improving performance.
"And when the data began to show that we face some challenges in relation to literacy and numeracy, the government acted through the National Improvement Framework to focus on improving performance in general as the OECD suggested we should, but crucially to closing the attainment gap between those young people who come from more deprived backgrounds, to make sure they have an equal chance to prosper as a result of the quality of their education.
"And it's that agenda that is now driving the education system within Scotland and giving us the opportunity to make sure every young person is able to fulfil their potential in Scotland, which is the objective of Curriculum for Excellence."


Ross Wallace's superb strike helped Sheffield Wednesday beat 10-man Huddersfield in the Championship.

Huddersfield had the better of the first-half chances, and Michael Hefele could have given them the lead when he headed wide from Aaron Mooy's corner.
But the Owls took the lead shortly after the break, Wallace smashing into the top corner from 30 yards out.
Town's Jack Payne was shown a straight red card, before Fernando Forestieri tapped in for Wednesday late on.
Moments earlier striker Sam Winnall, who joined the Owls from Barnsley on Friday, had been denied a debut goal by Terriers goalkeeper Danny Ward.
But Callum McManaman rounded the on-loan Liverpool player, before Forestieri flicked his effort into the net to extend the Owls' winning run against Huddersfield to four consecutive league games.
Carlos Carvalhal's side are now sixth in the table, just one point behind Town and five clear of seventh-placed Derby.
Huddersfield remain level on points with fourth-placed Reading, having seen an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end.
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal:
"It was an amazing goal from Wallace, a typical Ross Wallace goal. He deserved this goal. We gave him permission to fly and he flew to a fantastic goal.
"I didn't see the red card, I was too far away. I think Forestieri should have been given a penalty though.
"Winnall really affected the game, he's a good player and made a big impact, just like McManaman. When we win, we win together.
"I am very happy with the fans today. We felt they were with us even when the first half wasn't going our way."
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner:
"We were more dangerous in the first half but we were not clinical enough today. You have to use your opportunities.
"Three big decisions went against us; Nahki Wells was fouled in the build-up to the first goal, the red card was harsh and Forestieri might have been offside for the second goal.
"I think we shouldn't forget where we are today, against one of the best teams in the division.
"The first half was very good but the second half was only okay. After the red card, the game changed."

A mother has admitted falsely claiming a Primark security guard took her baby from her while she was breastfeeding and ordered her out of the store.

Caroline Starmer, 28, appeared at Leicester Crown Court, where she pleaded guilty to a charge of intent to pervert the course of justice.
Starmer, of Marshall Street, Leicester, had claimed her nine-month-old daughter was grabbed from her breast.
She was warned she could be jailed when sentenced in December.
In a Facebook post, she claimed the guard took hold of her daughter and marched off towards the exit of the Humberstone Gate store in Leicester on 13 July.
The story was widely reported in the media and in interviews she claimed a male security guard grabbed the child from her breast.
In the post, she said she picked a quiet spot in Primark to feed her daughter but was then challenged by a security guard who asked her to leave.
"I stood my ground and stated my rights, that I can legally feed where I want," she wrote.
"Just for the security officer to physically remove my daughter from my breast and walk down the store with her, saying if I wanted my daughter, then I was to come and get her."
Leicestershire Police investigated her claims but she was charged with intent to pervert the course of justice.
Primark initially said it would investigate the allegation but after viewing in-store CCTV footage denied the incident had taken place.
In a statement after Starmer's appearance at court, the firm said: "The company wishes to thank its staff for their patience and understanding through this process."
It added that breastfeeding mothers were always welcome in Primark.
The hosts of the Facebook page on which Starmer made her original claim, Free to Feed, apologised to Primark and said there were "no winners here".
"What possesses people to fabricate lies on this level and drag everyone else down with them, will always be a mystery to us," the group said.
"Our good nature and intent was completely abused by someone that we believed in good faith, and wanted to help."
The case was adjourned until 3 December for reports to be prepared.


Gary Hooper's winner lifted Sheffield Wednesday to fifth in the Championship as they saw off QPR at Hillsborough.

The Wednesday striker was in the right place to collect David Jones' volley and guide a shot past Alex Smithies just before half-time.
Conor Washington headed into the net for Rangers, but the effort was ruled out for a push, and Daniel Pudil's shot hit the post for the Owls.
Tom Lees then cleared Tjaronn Chery's shot off the line as the hosts held on.
Wednesday, who have won five of their seven league matches at home this season, almost went further ahead through Hooper and Adam Reach on the break, while Fernando Forestieri shot just wide.
The defeat ended QPR's five-match unbeaten run and dropped them to 13th.
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal:
"My players have been unbelievable this week, against very difficult teams. I'm very happy about what my players did; it was special today.
"The Championship is unique. The number of games, the crowds and the intensity - it is unique. And this is a situation we need to be able to play in.
"So far all the teams have lost games and this can happen. There is not a big value difference between any of the teams.
"We are resilient and reacting well all of the time. We are in a good way in the league."
QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink:
"I think we deserved at least a point from the game but that's football.
"When anyone comes to Hillsborough they know they will be under pressure. They are a very good side, whoever comes here knows that.
"We had the pressure on us today but they didn't work our keeper too much, he did not have many saves to make throughout the game.
"But nor did we create much ourselves. My players played well but didn't create as many chances as we could have."

Police have issued a series of travel warnings after spring snow fell across parts of Scotland.

Snowfall has been reported in mainly eastern parts of the country, including Aberdeenshire and the Borders.
Traffic Scotland said the snow-gate on the A93 at the Spittal of Glenshee was temporarily closed.
Police in the north-east have warned of hazardous driving conditions and motorists have been asked to take care around Edinburgh.
The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning for snow for the south, east and north-east of Scotland.
Forecasters expected accumulations of 5-10cm (2-4in) above 100m (330ft), with 15cm (6in) or more possible above 200m (656ft).
A mix of rain and snow was expected at lower levels and near coasts.
The chief forecaster said: "A depression which has crossed northern parts of northern England early Friday is bringing a slow-moving band of rain, sleet and snow into the area.
"This has stalled across eastern Scotland for a time early on Friday and will go on to push away east or south-eastwards through the course of Friday."
Amey, which maintains some trunk roads in Scotland, said it had gritters and snow ploughs out in the east and south-east of the country.
Stagecoach said some services are running late due to "heavy snowfall" in the east of Scotland.


Oil and gas exploration firm Bowleven has dropped plans to buy stakes in two Tanzanian gas projects.

The Edinburgh-based firm had signed a conditional agreement with Aminex for a 50% stake in the Ruvuma PSA prospect and a 25% share in the Kiliwani North Development Licence.
But in a stock market announcement, Bowleven said it had decided not to proceed after completing due diligence.
The deal would have been worth up to $28m (Â£19.6m).


Teaching and support staff at London Metropolitan University are staging a one-day strike over job cuts.

Members of Unison and the University and College Union (UCU), are angry at university plans to axe 165 academic and support posts.
London Met says it needs to reduce costs after student numbers fell for the second consecutive year.
The university must reassess its plans or face a "spiral of decline", said Unison branch secretary Max Watson.
The walkout follows a strike last month by UCU members.
Members of both unions are picketing university buildings.
A university spokesman said it had put contingency plans in place to ensure minimal disruption to front-line services.
The job cuts followed a report last year "to review the size and shape of London Met, which showed that our cost structure is too large for a university of our size", said the spokesman.
"We therefore need to reduce our cost structure to be more in line with our student numbers, as well as universities in the capital similar to London Met.
"We have engaged fully with our staff unions to try to avoid the need for compulsory redundancies."
The two unions say strike action is a last resort and urge the university to reassess its plans and reopen negotiations.
"We have heard from the same senior management time and time again that their proposed cuts are essential to the survival of the university," said Mr Watson.
"As a result of this failed strategy, we are witnessing a spiral of decline - one that will continue if the university goes ahead with yet more job cuts."
UCU regional official Barry Jones said: "It is disappointing that the university is still refusing to budge over these proposed cuts.
"Instead of cutting back on jobs, the university should be building on its reputation for expanding access to education."
UCU fears the cuts will risk London Metropolitan's reputation for providing educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
Figures for 2012-13 suggest 52% of full-time undergraduate entrants were mature students, compared with 23% nationally, while 51% were from disadvantaged backgrounds, compared with 33% nationally, says the union.


Officials in the Welsh Government could face disciplinary action after a court ordered it to pay £1.25m compensation over a contract it awarded.

Permanent Secretary Sir Derek Jones told AMs he was "deeply unhappy" about the "avoidable" payment - listed as a loss in the 2015-16 accounts.
It came after the Welsh Government was challenged by an unsuccessful bidder over the contract decision.
Sir Derek did not reveal the contract or the bidders involved.
A further fraud case involving the concessionary travel scheme - where the Welsh Government funds bus travel for older passengers - is pending.
Sir Derek, who was giving evidence to Public Accounts Committee in the Senedd, said the buck stopped with him over flaws on how the policy was implemented.
The senior civil servant said he was "deeply unhappy" with the £1.25m payment.
He explained officials had "decided on some very narrow margins in favour of one tenderer".
The Welsh Government initially defended the decision but was subsequently given legal advice that the "costs of continuing to defend the action, taken with the prospects of success, was such that it would be better to enter formal arbitration with the claimant".
Arbitration is where two parties attempt to settle a dispute outside the courts.
"In my view this was avoidable," said Sir Derek, blaming in part "poor record keeping and some ill-judged, naive administration".
Actions had been taken to "minimise the risk of anything happening similarly", he said, adding he had asked officials to "pursue the possibility that some disciplinary action might need to be taken in the case of the staff who are involved".
The accounts also refer to a case where two Padarn Bus bosses were jailed after falsely claiming £800,000 by lying about the number of concessionary fare passengers they carried.
John Hulme, 55, and Darren Price, 46, falsely claimed the money from Gwynedd council.
Questioned about the fraud by Llanelli AM Lee Waters, Sir Derek Jones told the committee: "I was quite shocked about that loss."
Mr Waters said there was concern that the system was open to fraud "for some years".
Sir Derek said he was not aware of the rumours mentioned by Mr Waters.
Pressed further by Mr Waters, Sir Derek replied: "This clearly was a policy decided by the government which had a flaw in its implementation, actually at local authority level, where I think we are satisfied that the processes could have been more robust.
"I can't say for certain, but had they been, they might have been able to prevent that fraud."
Sir Derek also said he did not feel performance management of Welsh Government staff was tough enough.
"I don't actually think it's robust enough, is my honest answer.
"I don't know whether people are just too nice but I think sometimes the difficult conversation over performance management doesn't take place as frequently as it should."


Islamic State (IS) militants have been accused of massacring hundreds of people in areas under their control in northern Iraq and eastern Syria.

At least 80 members of the Yazidi religious minority are believed to have been killed with women and children abducted in a village in Iraq.
IS is also accused of killing 700 tribesmen opposing them in Syria's Deir Ezzor province, over a two-week period.
The violence has displaced an estimated 1.2 million people in Iraq alone.
US aircraft are providing air support for Kurdish forces in northern Iraq to drive back the militants and retake the strategic Mosul dam.
US Central Command said it carried out nine air strikes on Saturday, hitting targets near Irbil and the dam.
The strikes "destroyed or damaged four armoured personnel carriers, seven armed vehicles, two Humvees and an armoured vehicle," a statement said.
"All aircraft exited the strike areas safely."
The UK, Germany and other countries are delivering humanitarian aid for refugees in the north.
IS first emerged in Syria, fighting President Bashar al-Assad during the ongoing civil war there, but it has since overrun parts of northern Iraq, making its capital in the city of Mosul.
Pursuing an extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam, it has persecuted non-Muslims and Shia Muslims, whom it regards as heretics.
Kurdish and Yazidi sources say the attack on the Yazidis took place in the village of Kawju (also spelt Kocho), near the town of Sinjar, on Friday afternoon.
Reports say the men were killed after refusing to convert to Islam. A US drone strike later destroyed two vehicles belonging to the militants.
Men were separated from women and children under 12 years old and the men and male teenagers were led away in groups of a few dozen each and shot on the edge of the village, a wounded man who escaped by feigning death told AP news agency.
The fighters then walked among the bodies, using pistols to finish off anyone who appeared to still be alive, the 42-year-old man said by phone from an area where he was hiding, on condition of anonymity.
"They thought we were dead, and when they went away, we ran away," he said. "We hid in a valley until sundown, and then we fled to the mountains."
A Yazidi refugee from a different village, Moujamma Jazira, told AFP news agency that people there had also been massacred, after trying in vain to fight back.
Dakhil Atto Solo said that 300 men had been executed in his village, and the women and children abducted. The report could not be verified independently.
Meanwhile, UK-based Syrian opposition activists reported that IS had executed 700 members of the al-Sheitaat tribe in the oil-rich province of Deir Ezzor.
"Reliable sources" reported that many of the tribesmen had been beheaded, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"Those who were executed are all al-Sheitaat," Observatory director Rami Abdelrahman told Reuters news agency by telephone. "Some were arrested, judged and killed."
The news comes after reports on social media in recent days of al-Sheitaat tribesmen being decapitated by militants, their severed heads left in public view in streets.
Tribesmen in the area had tried to drive out IS at the beginning of the month, in a rare display of local resistance. IS responded by rushing in reinforcements.
Kurdish forces supported by US air strikes battled on Saturday to retake Mosul dam, the country's largest, from IS.
Kurdish Peshmerga fighters shelled militants' positions and there was an unconfirmed report of a ground attack.
In north-eastern Syria, Kurdish forces have been giving military training to Iraqi Yazidis to help them fight IS, Reuters news agency reports.
In Western cities, demonstrators marched in support of Iraq's minorities, Yazidis, Christians and others, on Saturday.
In Paris, Kurdish protesters rallied against the "genocide of Yazidi Kurds" while in Hannover, Germany, a protester at a march told AP news agency: "Politicians must act now against the genocide... where not only Yazidis but also Christians, Arameans, Assyrians, heretics and anyone who doesn't agree with the inhuman world view of the terrorists of the IS is massacred, even decapitated. Now is the time for politicians to act."
Two Airbus flights carrying UK aid supplies landed in the Kurdish city of Irbil on Saturday and German military transport planes have also begun delivering aid.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on a visit to Baghdad that he hoped the new Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, would be able to represent all the different regions and religions in the country, as this was the only way to prevent disenchanted Iraqis from backing IS.


Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to trace over a "violent attack" in the Gorbals area of Glasgow.

A 20-year-old man was with a male friend in Old Rutherglen Road when another man attacked him with a weapon at about 13:05 on 22 September.
The victim was treated in hospital for a leg injury.
Detectives believe the man in the images may be able to help with their inquiry. He is described as white, aged about 20, with short brown hair.
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a tracksuit top that was white at the front and light blue at the back, dark tracksuit trousers and dark trainers.
He was last seen walking on Caledonia Road towards Cathcart Road.
Det Con Nicol McPherson said: "This was a violent attack that took place in broad daylight which left this man with a serious leg injury.
"I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the images, or who has information that may assist the investigation to contact Cathcart Police Office."


Germany's transport minister has announced a recall of 22,000 Porsche cars to remove what he says is illegal emissions-controlling software.

He said that luxury marque Porsche would bear the cost of the recalls of the affected 3-litre Cayenne models.
It comes as Porsche's sister firm Volkswagen says it will refit almost a million more diesel cars in Germany.
VW admitted in 2015 that some of its diesel cars were fitted with a "defeat device" to cheat on emissions tests.
Allegations about Porsche first emerged in German magazine Der Spiegel last month.
It said it was told by a source that the Porsche Cayenne had a "warm up mode" whose true purpose was to comply with emissions requirements. It said tests showed that once the car was confronted with small bends or a slope it switched to a different mode and emissions were higher.
"There is no explanation why this software was in this vehicle," German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Thursday.
"These vehicles are equipped with modern emissions-controlling technology so we think these vehicles are technically able to stick to emissions limits and we therefore believe Porsche will quickly be in a position to bring the software into conformity (with the law)."
Meanwhile, VW will "offer to refit four million vehicles and thereby significantly reduce emissions," chief executive Matthias Mueller said on Thursday after meeting Environment Minister Barbara  Hendricks.
Some 2.5 million VW cars are already covered by a recall of diesel vehicles introduced after the firm first owned up to cheating regulatory emissions tests.
Last week it was announced that VW subsidiary Audi would be offering a free software upgrade for 850,000 diesel cars across Europe, some 600,000 of them in Germany.
That leaves close to a million other cars to be included in the new refit plans. These include models from subsidiary Porsche, VW's Touareg sport utility vehicles, and some of its Transporter vans.
Separately, VW has been forced to defend its record after allegations that it teamed up with other German car giants to breach EU cartel rules.
VW said it was normal for manufacturers to exchange technical information to speed up innovation.
However, it declined to comment on specific allegations that five German carmakers colluded on price and technology.
Daimler has also called the allegations speculative.
EU and German anti-trust regulators are looking at allegations that BMW, Daimler and VW, including its subsidiaries Audi and Porsche, collaborated for decades on many aspects of development and production, disadvantaging customers and suppliers.
