Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that teachers have appropriate understanding of HIV and HIV stigma.
This question was answered on 11th February 2015
Decisions relating to teachers’ professional development rightly rest with schools, individual teachers and heads, as they are in the best position to make judgements about their requirements.
As explained in my answer to question PQ HL4437, the Department for Education does not prescribe specific measures to tackle the stigma of HIV in schools. However all schools are required to promote mutual respect and tolerance.
