Given the complex international nature of LIC sovereign debt, we continue to believe that internationally-agreed assessments and coordinated approaches to tackle debt vulnerability are most effective. The UK will continue to work through fora such as the IMF, World Bank, G20, and the Paris Club to promote LIC debt sustainability.<\/p>"}

Schools have the freedom to shape these measures in the context of their pupils' needs. They are held to account by Ofsted for their effectiveness in preventing bullying, harassment and discrimination.<\/p> <\/p> Through the Education Act 2011, we strengthened teachers' powers to discipline pupils for poor behaviour, including bullying. They can now issue same day detentions, confiscate banned items and search for, and if necessary delete, inappropriate images on mobile phones which might be linked to cyberbullying. This advice was updated in February 2014 to make clear that tough but proportionate sanctions can be deployed to deal with misbehaviour, which includes bullying. It is published online at:<\/p> www.gov.uk/government/publications/behaviour-and-discipline-in-schools<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In 2011, the Government published streamlined advice for schools, reducing it from 481 pages to just 11 pages to make absolutely clear schools' legal obligations to prevent and tackle bullying, and clarify teachers' powers to discipline pupils for unacceptable behaviour. This advice is published online at:<\/p> www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In February 2014, we issued an online leaflet about schools' responsibilities to support children who are bullied. This contains advice that makes clear that schools should make appropriate provision for a bullied child's social, emotional and mental health needs. This advice is also published online at:<\/p> www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-tackling-bullying<\/a><\/p> <\/p> To further support schools, in February 2014, the Department produced case studies showing good practice in how schools manage behaviour and bullying. The case studies give real life examples of what schools do to identify and respond to bullying. This is published online at:<\/p>
