Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 27 November 2006.


Children and Young People: Bullying

Question
My Lords, how are the Government working with the various faith and cultural groups to ensure that bullying policies take into account and celebrate the differences between all children who attend our schools?
Answer

My Lords, the noble Baroness raises an important issue. One of the announcements made last week during Anti-Bullying Week was an important project to examine faith-based and other prejudice-driven bullying in schools, in association with the Beatbullying group. This will cover issues such as Islamophobia and problems faced by pupils with disabilities. I shall certainly let the noble Baroness know when we have the results of that.
