<p>All teachers are expected to meet the Teacher Standards, which require them to
be able to ‘manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment’
and establish ‘a safe and stimulating environment for students, rooted in mutual respect’.
Providers of initial teacher training, headteachers and teachers are best placed to
determine the types of training and development that will help teachers to meet these
standards.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government is clear that there is no
place for any form of bullying in our schools. To help schools tackle bullying the
department has issued advice and case studies on preventing and tackling all forms
of bullying, including online bullying. We have also issued advice on supporting bullied
children’s social, emotional and mental health, and separate advice for parents on
how to spot signs that their child is being cyberbullied and what to do if it happens.
This advice is published online at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying</a>.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The department is providing £3.3 million this year to various
anti-bullying charities to tackle all forms of bullying in school, on top of the £4
million provided in 2013-15. One of these charities, the National Children’s Bureau,
has produced cyberbullying advice for teachers on supporting pupils with a special
educational need and/or disability and we link to this in our advice. Furthermore,
the department has spent over £3.5 million on programmes to support teachers to deliver
the new computing curriculum. Some of these programmes include e-safety content alongside
developing teachers’ knowledge and skills in computer science.</p><p> </p>
