Wales' education minister has told every school it must tackle bullying and racism head on, after a pupil lost a finger reportedly fleeing bullies.

Jeremy Miles said schools have to take a "robust" approach, and an anti-racism plan will be published soon.

Raheem Bailey, 11, had surgery after catching his finger on a fence at his school, but it could not be saved.

One charity said the lack of mandatory anti-bullying training in Wales was "deeply worrying".

On Tuesday First Minister Mark Drakeford, who called the case "shocking", rejected a call for an inquiry into racism in schools.
