Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the guidance on tackling peer-to-peer abuse in Keeping children safe in education will be reviewed and updated.

The department is planning to launch a public consultation on revising Keeping children safe in education later in the autumn. The department expects revised guidance to be published for information in spring 2018, to give schools and colleges time to plan for any changes, before it comes into force in September 2018.
