Why schools should be concerned about bullying

Head teachers must by law have a policy to prevent all forms of bullying among pupils. Challenging bullying effectively will improve the safety and happiness of pupils, show that the school cares and make clear to bullies that the behaviour is unacceptable.
Head teachers will need to satisfy themselves that their policies comply with the Human Rights Act 1998 (in force from 2 October 2000).
