To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department provides on schools-based police officers (a) wearing uniform, (b) carrying tasers and (c) carrying batons.

The Government does not issue specific guidance on the use of police equipment and uniforms in schools. This is an operational matter for Chief officers to determine. Officers must pass a comprehensive training programme before they can carry tasers.
