Parliamentary Question
Cyberbullying
Mark Pritchard (The Wrekin) (Con): The Minister will know that each school has an acceptable use policy, and one way to help teachers might be to extend those powers beyond the boundaries of the playground. Will the Minister look at this issue and see whether cyberbullies could be dealt with when they return from home to school if there has been cyberbullying between two pupils at the same school?
Ms Johnson: Schools, and head teachers in particular, already have a duty to deal with bullying, and schools have the power to deal with bullying, including cyberbullying, that takes place elsewhere-not just on the school premises. |
