Teachers
Norman Baker:
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]
Jim Knight:
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.
Teachers: Greater London
