answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally.</p><p>Schools are not required to report centrally on racist incidents or to publish figures. Schools have the freedom to develop their own approaches for monitoring behaviour, including racist incidents, and to exercise their own judgement as to what will work best for their pupils and the communities they serve. They are required to publish a behaviour policy that outlines measures to encourage good behaviour and to prevent all forms of bullying amongst pupils, including racist bullying, and are held to account by Ofsted. Where schools feel that an incident might constitute a crime, guidance makes it clear that they should report it to the police.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/03/2019 17:09:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

tabling member constituency	Clacton

uin	228161
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>All schools are required to actively promote our shared values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs. Schools are also required to promote equality and respect for others, with particular regard to the protected characteristics. Promotion of these values is part of Ofsted’s inspection framework and the department has published guidance to schools on promoting these important values as part of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.</p><p>In 2016, the department also launched the Educate Against Hate website which provides resources for teachers and school leaders to support their promotion of these values. This includes the department’s Respectful Schools Communities toolkit; a self-review and signposting tool to support schools to develop a whole-school approach which promotes respect and discipline.</p><p>Additionally, subject to the passage of regulations through parliament, schools will be required to teach relationships education to all primary pupils and relationships and sex education to all secondary pupils from September 2020. The focus is on building positive, respectful relationships, including online, and understanding the impact of harmful stereotypes and bullying.</p><p>The department also supports a number of specific initiatives in schools to combat bullying. The department is providing over £2.8 million of funding, between September 2016 and March 2020, to 4 anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying. This includes projects targeting bullying of particular groups, such as those who are victims of hate-related bullying, along with a project to report bullying online. These projects contribute towards the government’s Hate Crime Action plan.</p><p>Finally, as part of our commitments in the government’s Integrated Communities Action Plan, the department has funded an expanded national school linking programme. This seeks to encourage meaningful social mixing between different types of schools and foster understanding of those with different backgrounds, faiths and beliefs. Last year, the Linking Network worked with over 400 schools leading to 17,635 pupils taking part in activities supporting integration.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 12/03/2019 16:59:19 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>Free speech plays a vital and important role in our society, and universities should be places where students are exposed to a range of issues, however controversial, and are encouraged to debate and challenge them.</p><p> </p><p>The government, with the support of key stakeholders in the higher education sector, has worked alongside the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to produce the recently published Freedom of Expression guidance. This guidance can be found at: <a href="https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/20150318_foe_legal_framework_guidance_revised_final.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/20150318_foe_legal_framework_guidance_revised_final.pdf</a>. The guidance will enable universities and student unions to understand their obligations for protecting and supporting free speech. The EHRC will continue to maintain this guidance to ensure it remains relevant and accessible to the whole sector.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for Students (OfS) will also have an important role to play in championing free speech and promoting good practice. A new public interest principle relating to free speech has been built into the OfS regulatory framework.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 12/03/2019 17:54:42 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
