Anti-Bullying Policy
Head teachers must by law have a policy to prevent all forms of
bullying among pupils. Kidscape provides an example Anti-Bullying
Policy as one of our free downloads.
Occasionally, schools are reluctant to provide access to their
policies. Some parents we have been in contact with have met with
evasive responses, examples of which are listed below.
If you have requested
to view an Anti-Bullying policy at a school and have not
been satisfied with the schools response, please email
us and let us know the details.
We might not be
able to do anything directly, but it may help other parents feel
they are not alone in their experiences.
