	uin	221748
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2015 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> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 27/01/2015 16:32:31 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2015 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence does not tolerate domestic violence; neither do we consider it to be a purely private matter. The Department's position is set out for all staff in a Joint Service Publication which raises awareness about our policy and the sources of help available to everyone in the Service community. This helps Service personnel who are experiencing domestic violence, or who are aware of someone else who is experiencing violence, know what to do to seek help and have the confidence to do so.</p><p>In parallel, there is a comprehensive range of sources of help in place to support members of Service families who are victims of domestic violence. This includes single-Service welfare providers, specialist welfare and personnel staff, and helplines. Practical help available includes alternative service accommodation and referral to specialist services such as a refuge.</p><p>We have recently released a DVD entitled &quot;<em>Domestic Abuse - Where to Find Help</em>&quot; as a resource providing information about how to seek help for those experiencing domestic abuse within the Service community. In addition, a LIBOR funded project, which is planned to be launched in March 2015, will provide a source of information on the gov.uk website about domestic abuse specifically designed for Service personnel, their families and professionals such as specialist welfare officers and social workers.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 21/01/2015 16:23:51 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
