Violence towards anyone is unacceptable and the safety of our children, young people and staff at school is paramount.Since May 2023, we have responded to schools’ concerns about relationships and behaviour in a number of ways. This includes the publication of new guidance on gender-based violence in March 2024, updating our guidance on mobile phones and anti-bullying, and providing £900k to local authorities to support training of support staff.In August 2024, we published a joint relationships and behaviour in schools action plan with COSLA.
