star this property answer text <p>The Department for Education recognises that provision for all children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) across England, including those on the autism spectrum, needs to be improved and that is why we are taking forward the reforms in the Children and Families Act, which recently received Royal Assent. Part 3 of the Act will bring about significant reforms to the SEN system from which children and young people with autism will benefit along with their peers, in particular from earlier, and more comprehensive, assessment and intervention and stronger arrangements for the transition from children's to adult services, which many on the spectrum can find extremely difficult. </p><p>In 2008 the Autism Education Trust published a report ‘Educational provision for children and young people living in England'. That report found that “practice in many mainstream and special schools had improved tremendously over recent years” but that there was still much to be done “in reaching staff in schools who are not yet familiar with the particular needs of pupils on the autism spectrum and who struggle to teach them effectively.”</p><p>The Government has continued to fund the Trust, putting the emphasis on improving awareness and skills amongst early years, schools and further education staff. From January 2012 to February 2014, 22,451 staff have received level 1 basic awareness training, 3,214 have received level 2 hands-on tools and techniques training and 775 have received level 3 training for those who want to develop their knowledge of autism further and those who will themselves take on a training role, such as school Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators. </p><p>Education, including SEN, is a devolved matter and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have responsibility for autism educational provision in their administrations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government has sent a clear message to schools that all forms of bullying, for whatever reason, are absolutely unacceptable and should not tolerated. All schools are required, by law, to have a behaviour policy with measures to address all forms of bullying. Schools are free to develop their own anti-bullying strategies but they are held clearly to account for their effectiveness through Ofsted.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have issued specific advice[1] to schools on preventing and tackling bullying in which we link to national organisations such as the Anti-Bullying Alliance, who can provide specialist advice to schools to tackle specific types of bullying, such as racist, homophobic and gender based bullying. We issued a leaflet about bullying which outlined schools’ responsibilities to make appropriate provision for a bullied child’s social, emotional and mental health needs, and issued case studies on how good schools manage bullying[2]. We also published two pieces of advice, one on helping teachers[3] to guard themselves against cyberbullying and the second for parents[4] to help keep their children safe from cyberbullying. Teachers, as well as pupils, deserve to feel safe and free from bullying.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have issued statutory guidance for teachers, Working Together to Safeguard Children (2013)[5] and Keeping Children Safe in Education (2014)[6], which sets out what schools must do to safeguard and promote the welfare of their pupils, including in relation to sexual exploitation.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We are also ensuring that children are better educated about the dangers of the internet, including bullying. From this term children are now learning about internet safety as part of the new national curriculum, and Safer Internet Day is widely promoted each year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying</a></p><p>[2] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/managing-behaviour-and-bullying-in-schools-case-studies" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/managing-behaviour-and-bullying-in-schools-case-studies</a></p><p>[3] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/374850/Cyberbullying_Advice_for_Headteachers_and_School_Staff_121114.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/374850/Cyberbullying_Advice_for_Headteachers_and_School_Staff_121114.pdf</a></p><p>[4] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/375420/Advice_for_Parents_on_Cyberbullying_131114.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/375420/Advice_for_Parents_on_Cyberbullying_131114.pdf</a></p><p>[5] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children</a></p><p>[6] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education</a></p><p> </p>
