Ministers have u-turned on creating new blasphemy guidance, saying it WILL be drawn up but will be done by the Home Office. A week ago, home secretary Suella Braverman said she would 鈥渨ork with鈥� the Department for Education 鈥渢o issue new guidance鈥� after a school incident involving a Quran being damaged. But the DfE then told Schools Week they 鈥渄o not plan to issue additional guidance on managing blasphemy related incidents鈥� saying current related guidance works. When asked for clarity and whether it was drawing up guidance, the Home Office said the DfE was leading on the matter and they backed the education department鈥檚 comment. However, days later, the Home Office now says “as the home secretary set out”, they are “looking to draft new guidance around blasphemy incidents and will work with other departments including鈥� the DfE. Bravermans comments A DfE spokesperson also now said they 鈥渨ill support the Home Office on education related elements of their guidance鈥�. Four children at Kettlethorpe High School in Wakefield were suspended when a copy of the Quran was damaged. Police recorded a hate incident, but said no crimes were committed. The boy who reportedly brought the Islamic text in has 鈥渉igh functioning鈥� autism and received 鈥渄eath threats鈥� over the incident, . Nick Gibb, schools minister, intervened last week saying the threats were 鈥渢otally unacceptable鈥�.
