All schools are required, by law, to have a behaviour policy with measures to address all forms of bullying including that which occurs online. Schools have the freedom to shape these measures in the context of their particular local circumstances and pupils' needs. Schools are held closely to account by Ofsted for how well they deal with pupil behaviour and safety, which includes bullying.</p><p>We are also providing £4 million of funding over two years from spring 2013 to four organisations - Beatbullying, the Diana Award, Kidscape and The Anti-bullying Alliance (ABA) with the National Children's Bureau (NCB) - to develop effective initiatives that prevent and tackle all forms of bullying.</p><p>As part of their funding, the ABA has recently published a guide to cyberbullying for SEND young people, which contains advice for schools on developing effective anti-bullying practice and we link to this report in our Departmental advice on bullying.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
