Bullying
Speak to a member of staff at your child’s school, if you are worried about bullying. You can also find the school’s anti-bullying policy on their website.
You can talk to someone you trust if it happens outside school, for example in a club or online.
See GOV.UK for more information on how to report bullying
Bullying is a deliberately hurtful act, which is repeated often, over a period of time.
It can happen anywhere:
- in schools
- in social clubs
- on the street or in parks
- online or through phones and social media
- even at home
Bullying is never okay. We want all children to feel safe and respected. Everyone should understand how their actions affect others.
