Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will make an assessment with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of bullying at work on levels of bullying in (a) schools and (b) other environments.

The department does not conduct research on the scale and impact of workplace bullying, including the impact on levels of bullying in schools and other environments.

All schools are legally required to have a behaviour policy with measures to prevent all forms of bullying and have the freedom to develop their own anti-bullying strategies and monitoring approaches to best suit their environment.
