What's your school's anti bullying policy?

I've read hundreds of posts here where parents have been let down by their children's schools when it comes to bullies.
AIBU to ask what's your story? Did your DC's bullying get stopped by the school?

My own has had crap from one kid (as has the rest of his class) for years and nothing ever happens thanks to his mum being good buddies (we're talking bridesmaids, in laws and besties) with the school, having family and friends working there and she's even a PTA and parent council member to boot.

In one Headteacher meeting I told her I was damn sick of my boy coming home and his first words are "BadBob stuck me with a pencil today.", "BadBob bent my finger all the way back at playtime for playing with Fred", "BadBob spat in my dinner" etc and her answer to this was to tell me I needed to stop discussing it with him. I needed to talk about different subjects and stop my boy focussing on this, making an issue if it.

I needed to shut my DS up instead of dealing with the reasons why he was coming home upset after school.

How did you deal with bullies?
Ours is never described as bullying. The school shy away of that word completely.
It's only ever called incidents and only when pushed. I have never once been told when my DS has been hurt at school, and it's described as "a little accident" when I ask them what the heck happened. (So-called "Accident" was once Bad Bob getting up at story time, running across the carpet at DS and punching him in the head")

I wouldn't bother trying to get things changed at your child's school I would just move schools. It has been going on for years and years, without resolution.

Agree. Move schools.
