Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the potential effectiveness of new vape detectors in helping schools prevent vaping on school grounds.

Schools are required by law to have a behaviour policy that sets out what is expected of all pupils, including which items are banned from school premises.

The Department trusts headteachers to develop tailored behaviour policies which reflect their school’s individual contexts and needs, and decide themselves the best methods to enforce these policies.
