	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2022 answer text <p>The government condemns and strives to tackle all forms of racial discrimination, prejudice, and harassment.</p><p> </p><p>All schools are required to have a behaviour policy by law, with measures to prevent all forms of bullying. The department provides advice for schools, which outlines schools’ responsibilities: <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>. The advice makes clear that schools should make appropriate provision for a bullied child's social, emotional and mental health needs.</p><p> </p><p>The department is providing over £2 million of funding, between 10 August 2021 and 31 March 2023, to five anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying. This includes projects targeting bullying of particular groups, such as those who are victims of ethnic-based bullying or hate-related bullying.</p><p> </p><p>We are also making sure that all children in England will learn about respectful relationships, in person and online, as part of mandatory Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE). These subjects are designed to give pupils the knowledge they need to lead happy, safe, and healthy lives and to foster respect for other people and for difference. The statutory RSHE guidance can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/teaching-about-relationships-sex-and-health" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/teaching-about-relationships-sex-and-health</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We have published ‘Respectful School Communities’, a self-review and signposting tool to support schools to develop a whole-school approach which promotes respect and discipline, available here: <a href="https://educateagainsthate.com/resources/respectful-school-communities-self-review-signposting-tool-2/" target="_blank">https://educateagainsthate.com/resources/respectful-school-communities-self-review-signposting-tool-2/</a> This can help to combat bullying, harassment and prejudice of any kind, including ethnicity-based bullying.</p> answering member constituency Bassetlaw answering member printed Brendan Clarke-Smith question first answered 13/07/2022 16:40:32 answering member 4756 label Biography information for Brendan Clarke-Smith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2022 answer text <p>The department will shortly be publishing the updated Behaviour in Schools guidance. This guidance advises schools on how they can build a positive behaviour culture through a whole-school approach to help schools create calm, safe and supportive environments.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the department is pursuing an ambitious wider programme of work to improve behaviour in schools. Our £10 million behaviour hubs programme, launched in April 2021, is projected to support up to 700 schools over three years. It enables schools with exemplary positive behaviour cultures to work closely with schools that want and need to improve pupil behaviour, alongside a central offer of support and a taskforce of advisers.</p><p> </p><p>Moreover, the national behaviour survey is underway and is asking panels of pupils, parents, leaders, and teachers about their perception of behaviour. The aim of the survey is to support future policy development by improving our evidence base and data collection on behaviour. By capturing the views of professionals and listening to the voice of children and parents, the department will gain a better understanding of behaviour and what we need to do to support teachers and leaders in practice.</p><p> </p><p>In autumn 2021, the department introduced a new and updated suite of fully funded National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), including the new specialist NPQ for Leading Behaviour and Culture. Specialist and leadership NPQs provide training and support for teachers and school leaders at all levels, from those who want to develop expertise in high-quality teaching practice, such as behaviour management, to those leading multiple schools across trusts.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bassetlaw answering member printed Brendan Clarke-Smith question first answered 14/07/2022 10:15:17 answering member 4756 label Biography information for Brendan Clarke-Smith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2022 answer text <p>The government is investing over £200 million a year in our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme over the next three years, distributed through all local authorities in England.</p><p>The programme is targeted primarily towards children who receive benefits-related free school meals (FSM). Local authorities also have discretion to provide free or subsidised holiday club places for children who are not in receipt of FSM, but who the local authority believe could benefit from HAF provision.</p><p>Local authorities are encouraged to work with a wide range of organisations and partners across their local area and ensure schools and other services are on board with directing children and families to the programme. To support local authorities, the government has appointed a national support partner, Childcare Works, who help local authorities to use their funding as effectively as possible and to target their programme at those most in need. The government has also provided local authorities with a communication toolkit to support local promotion of the programme.</p> answering member constituency Bassetlaw answering member printed Brendan Clarke-Smith question first answered 20/07/2022 16:54:33 answering member 4756 label Biography information for Brendan Clarke-Smith
