Teachers

Volume 470: debated on Tuesday 22 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families if he will bring forward measures to establish the status of teachers in classrooms as in loco parentis; and if he will make a statement. (178162)

Taken together, the Children Act 1989 and the Education and Inspections Act 2006 give teachers the powers they need to manage pupils' behaviour, so new legislation in this area is unnecessary.
