The Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department of Health has also outlined a core offer for families with disabled children.
A new body, called Together for Disabled Children, to support short breaks for disabled children, will be set up as part of today’s announcement. It will be run by Serco and charity Contact a Family.
The new measures are part of the government’s Aiming High for Disabled Children strategy.
According to children’s secretary Ed Balls and care minister Ivan Lewis, the bullying advice will help teachers and support staff understand the problems children with disabilities and special educational needs face.

It suggests appointing a member of staff to look out for a particular child and developing secret signals so the child can let them know if they have been bullied.

Balls said: “We all need to look beyond the disability and see the young person.”
The government has also announced the first group of local authorities to run pilots helping set up childcare for disabled children.
Northumberland, Luton, Camden and Oxfordshire are among councils who will be given a share of £35m until 2011 to look at the shortage of childcare for disabled children and find ways to solve the problem.
Steve Broach, campaign manager for Every Disabled Child Matters, welcomed the announcement and said: “We will continue to push for disabled children to be made a priority.”
