Written Question
Schools: Bullying
Monday 25th March 2024

Asked by: Baroness Sherlock (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what data they collect on the religious identity of children who are bullied in schools.

Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The department does not hold information on the religious identity of children that are bullied in schools.

The ‘National behaviour survey’ publishes data on a number of behaviour related topics, including bullying. The latest report, based on data from 2021/22, stated that 3% of those surveyed, who said they had been bullied, said it was due to their religion or belief. The ‘National behaviour survey’ can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64809defb32b9e0012a963ce/National_Behaviour_Survey_academic_year_2021_to_22_report.pdf.

The department is providing over £3 million of funding, between 10 August 2021 and 31 March 2024, to five anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying. This includes projects targeting bullying of particular groups, such as those who are victims of hate-related bullying.
