	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>Harassment or bullying of any kind is completely unacceptable and abhorrent in any setting including schools. All schools are legally required to have a behaviour policy with measures to prevent all forms of bullying. Schools have a role in promoting community cohesion and integration and are required to support pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and to promote fundamental British values. This is a priority for the Government and the Department working with the sector to support them in this role, including, for example, encouraging social mixing across schools.</p><p>Earlier this year an extension was announced to the Department’s anti-bullying grant programme, which is now providing over £2.8 million of funding between September 2016 and March 2020, to four anti-bullying organisations that support schools to tackle bullying. This includes projects targeting bullying of particular groups such as those with special educational need and disabilities and those who are victims of hate related to bullying, along with a project to report bullying online.</p><p>Whilst there is no legal requirement on schools to record and report incidents of bullying the department uses evidence from surveys as an indicator of the prevalence of bullying.</p><p>This includes the Department’s omnibus survey of pupils and their parents/carers. The latest report (September 2018[1]) shows an overall reduction in reports of bullying compared to the previous year, with 37% of pupils surveyed reporting being a victim of bullying at least once in the last year, compared to 45% of pupils the previous year.</p><p>There was an increase in the proportion of pupils who reported being bullied at least once a month in the last year because of their race, nationality or ethnicity (3%, compared to 1% the previous year).</p><p>Other surveys used by the department include Bullying in England - a report based on analysis of the ONS crime survey for England and Wales (published November 2018);[2] and the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE) 2 (wave 3 published June 2018).[3]</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pupils-and-their-parents-or-carers-omnibus-wave-1-survey" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pupils-and-their-parents-or-carers-omnibus-wave-1-survey</a>.</p><p>[2].<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bullying-in-england-april-2013-to-march-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bullying-in-england-april-2013-to-march-2018</a>.</p><p>[3]<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/715469/Bullying-Evidence_from_LSYPE2__wave_3.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/715469/Bullying-Evidence_from_LSYPE2__wave_3.pdf</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/12/2018 15:43:24 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	uin	199887
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>Further education (FE) colleges are independent of government and are responsible for setting the pay and conditions of their staff, commensurate with their local workforce planning needs. We recognise that the FE sector faces cost pressures, which is why we are looking closely at funding to make sure that the system can support the delivery of sustainable, high-quality education. We have also been actively engaging with FE providers and representative bodies to understand the specific challenges and opportunities for FE teacher recruitment and retention, to see if there is more support we can offer. The forthcoming Spending Review will present an opportunity for us to make the case for investment in the sector.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 13/12/2018 12:17:50 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>We have not seen any evidence that suggests there has been any changes to the volume of medicine shortages or price changes as a result of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union. Our number one priority is to ensure the continued supply of medicines which is why we are working closely with industry and partners in the health system to manage the impact of EU exit.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has well established processes to manage and mitigate the small number of business as usual supply problems that may arise at any one time due to manufacturing or distribution issues and this has always been the case. We work closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), NHS England and the pharmaceutical industry to prevent medicine shortages, minimise the risks to patients and take appropriate action when shortages do occur.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond grouped question UIN 215211 question first answered 05/02/2019 16:08:40 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
