The Children and Families Act 2014 includes new duties on local authorities for how services and support are delivered for disabled children and young people and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). As a result of these reforms the SEND Code of Practice was re-written. A disproportionate amount of disabled children and young people and those with SEN are bullied in schools and the revised Code of Practice introduces new duties and guidance for local authorities and schools about bullying. This briefing aims to explain these new duties and provide clarity around what effective practice looks like. It covers: bullying and the local offer; cyberbullying, internet safety and the local offer; taking bullying into account when identifying special educational needs; and School SEN Information Report and bullying.

A guide for school staff on tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying for disabled children and young people with SEN. The document summarises what the literature says about prejudice based bullying, HBT bullying among disabled children and those with SEN, and whole school approaches to tackling bulling. It then sets out young people’s views and ideas about sex and relationships education in school, what they learnt about LGBT+ issues, where else they got information about this, and their ideas for how disabled young people should be given better LGBT+ information. The document also describes what, in the view of young people, schools could do to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying for disabled young people and young people with emotional or mental health difficulties.
