answer text <p /> <p>Domestic violence and abuse is a dreadful crime and has no place in our society. Tackling it has been one of this Government’s top priorities. We are determined to support victims in rebuilding their lives and reporting these crimes, and to make sure perpetrators are brought to justice. We have piloted and rolled out Clare's Law and domestic violence protection orders; extended the definition of domestic abuse to cover controlling behaviour and teenage relationships; run two successful campaigns to challenge perceptions of abuse; and placed Domestic Homicide Reviews on a statutory footing to make sure lessons are learned from individual tragedies. More recently we have added an amendment to the Serious Crime Bill at Commons Committee stage to create a new offence of domestic abuse.</p><p> </p><p>Information held centrally by the Ministry of Justice on the Court Proceedings Database does not include the circumstances behind each case beyond the description provided in the statute. It is not possible separately to identify from this centrally held information how many people imprisoned for contempt of court have also been victims of a crime. This detailed information may be held on court records but is not reported centrally to the Ministry of Justice. As such, the information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p>

answer text <p>The Government believes that schools are best placed to decide how to prevent and tackle bullying based on their particular circumstances. There is no legal requirement on schools to record incidents of bullying but school staff should develop a consistent and effective approach to monitoring bullying incidents. For some schools, that will mean recording incidents while others prefer to take a different approach, such as surveying their pupils anonymously to identify trends in bullying and how safe young people feel at school. Schools are held to account on their approach to bullying by Ofsted.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Research results from the national Longitudinal Study of Young people (LSYPE), which is funded by the Department for Education, found that bullying among year 9 pupils has fallen in the period from 2004 to 2013. 30,000 fewer pupils said they had been bullied in the last twelve months. This is a reduction from 45 per cent of pupils to 40 per cent.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of raising awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM) amongst professionals with safeguarding responsibilities. <br><br>In June 2014 the Home Office launched an e-learning tool on FGM for all practitioners with a responsibility for safeguarding (social workers, teachers, health care professionals, border force and police). As of November 2014, 8,337 <br>people had signed up to do the e-learning with 3,957 people having completed it. 99.5% of people who completed the training would recommend it to others. A breakdown of figures by English region is not available. <br><br>The new FGM Unit has also now been established and is raising awareness of all of the available guidance and resources to professionals through a series of outreach events.</p><p> </p> more like this

We do not collect data on how many of the Family Court judges are involved in domestic violence cases.</p><p>Practice Direction 12J (Child Arrangements and Contact Orders: Domestic Violence and Harm) sets out what the Family Court should do in any case in which it is “alleged or admitted, or there is other reason to believe, that the child or a party has experienced domestic violence or abuse perpetrated by another party or that there is a risk of such violence or abuse”;</p><p><a href="https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/family/practice_directions/pd_part_12j" target="_blank">https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/family/practice_directions/pd_part_12j</a></p>
