-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent steps her Department has taken to help protect trans children from bullying and harassment in schools.
- Answer
-
The government has sent a clear message to schools that bullying, including cyberbullying, for whatever reason, is unacceptable.
The department has provided over £3 million of funding, between 10 August 2021 and 31 March 2024, to five anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying, this includes projects targeting bullying of particular groups.
In addition to this, on 19 December 2023 the department published the draft guidance for schools and colleges in relation to gender questioning children, along with a consultation, which was clear that bullying must never be tolerated. The consultation closed on 12 March 2024 and the responses will support the department to finalise the guidance for schools and colleges for final publication later this year.
