uin	193311
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not collect information on the number of people with learning difficulties reported being bullied at school.</p><p>The Government is clear that bullying, for whatever reason, is totally unacceptable. All schools are required, by law, to have a behaviour policy with measures to address all forms of bullying including that which occurs online. Schools have the freedom to shape these measures in the context of their particular local circumstances and pupils' needs. Schools are held closely to account by Ofsted for how well they deal with pupil behaviour and safety, which includes bullying.</p><p>We are also providing £4 million of funding over two years from spring 2013 to four organisations - Beatbullying, the Diana Award, Kidscape and The Anti-bullying Alliance (ABA) with the National Children's Bureau (NCB) - to develop effective initiatives that prevent and tackle all forms of bullying.</p><p>As part of their funding, the ABA has recently published a guide to cyberbullying for SEND young people, which contains advice for schools on developing effective anti-bullying practice and we link to this report in our Departmental advice on bullying.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

This is lower than previous estimates because of the implementation of the universal infant free school meals policy from September 2014.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 12 March 2014, Official Report, column 250W, on schools: construction, what the construction time-scale is for each of the 198 schools with which his Department is working in the Priority School Building Programme, but at which construction has not yet started.

uin	192508
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>We are currently working with 221 schools in the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP). We will have commenced work with all schools by the end of 2014. Before building work can begin, plans must be drawn up, contracts negotiated and planning permission secured. Construction work has already started at 24 schools (20 under main works contracts and four under early works agreements). We expect that building work will have commenced at all schools by the end of 2016. All schools will be delivered by the end of 2017, two years earlier than originally planned.</p><p>Under Building Schools for the Future (BSF), it took three years from first planning for building works to begin. We have cut this to one year under the PSBP. Had we continued with BSF timescales, no PSBP schools would yet have started construction. The first school being rebuilt under the PSBP will open in May 2014.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
