Tim Farron – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tim Farron on 2016-05-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many cases of sexual assault have been recorded in schools in Cumbria in the last five years.

Edward Timpson

The Department for Education does not collect information on the number of sexual assaults taking place on school sites. The Government expects schools to take immediate and robust action if violent incidents occur. Schools should report criminal offences to the police.
