answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2017 answer text <p>Government responsibility for disability matters resides with the Office of Disability Issues within the Department for Work and Pensions. My Rt hon. Friend, the Minister for Women and Equalities, has not had specific discussions with cabinet colleagues on the scale of bullying of disabled people.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not tolerate bullying in any form and any sector of our society.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Equality Act 2010, ‘unwanted or prohibited conduct’ related to a protected characteristic (including disability) that violates an individual’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them, is unlawful. Bullying behaviour may also, in some circumstances, be proscribed by the victimisation provisions of the Act.</p><p> </p><p>The Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) record the number of calls they receive about harassment and victimisation of disabled people. They reported that between 1 October 2016, when the current EASS contract started, and 31 October 2017 there were 590 contacts from disabled people about harassment or victimisation, out of a total of 11,817 disability-related calls.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/12/2017 14:12:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	116315
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>Homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying is unacceptable and the Government is committed to tackling it.</p><p> </p><p>There is no single source of data on the level of bullying reported against lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people. We rely on a range of sources to gather insight on bullying, harassment and discrimination against LGBT people in different contexts. These include our regular omnibus survey of pupils and their parents, research from the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, which the Government Equalities Office commissioned in 2016 to review the evidence of inequalities faced by LGBT people, and evidence from LGBT organisations.</p><p> </p><p>In July this year we launched a national online survey to gain the views of LGBT people living in the UK on what they think of public services. There are questions about the workplace as well as health, education, safety, and more general questions about being an LGBT person in the UK. The survey received an unprecedented response, making it one of the largest LGBT surveys in the world. We will analyse those results closely and set out further steps to promote LGBT equality next year.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/12/2017 17:42:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
