Education written question – answered at on 28 February 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what steps he is taking to reduce the burden of administration on schools in respect of disciplinary matters.
We are clear that schools should be trusted to apply the most appropriate approaches to behaviour and discipline. By stripping away unnecessary regulation and prescription and by reducing the amount of paperwork and bureaucracy we will free teachers to re-assert their authority. As part of this approach, we are slashing the amount of guidance on behaviour and bullying that teachers are expected to read from over 700 pages to under 100 pages.
