Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will make it his Department's policy to record the number of pupils who are (a) suspended and (b) expelled for cyber-bullying.
Answered by Elizabeth Truss
We have no plans to collect specific data on the number of pupils receiving fixed period exclusions or permanent exclusions for cyberbullying.
The Department for Education does not distinguish between different forms of bullying. The Department already collects data on exclusions for bullying, which would include cyberbullying, as set out in the reply given to the hon. Member on 28 April 2014, Official Report, column 558W, on pupil exclusions: bullying.
