HC Deb 29 January 1985 vol 72 cc78-9W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has about methods for enforcing discipline in maintained secondary schools other than corporal punishment; and what steps he takes to disseminate information about effective methods to teachers throughout the country.

Mr. Dunn

A considerable amount of information about this topic reaches my right hon. Friend through HM Inspectorate which, in the course of its work observes, discusses and disseminates information about a range of disciplinary issues. These issues are sometimes raised in school inspection reports, which are now published.
