Education - Are there any programms schools can use to combat bullying

[Italiangreyhound]

I am totally sick of hearing stories of children being bullied at school.

In my experience some parents seem quite timid to speak to school about it and when they do speak to school seem to get nowhere.

Is there a 'programme' or 'scheme' that can be rolled out in a school to engage all parties, children, teachers etc into what is and is not acceptable, bullying etc etc and perhaps along the lines of peer counsellors or other things that can have a real grass roots affect, please?

There are a lot of articles and information on line, but I am really looking for a resource, one that someone could recommend, please, of something that has worked in another school.

I am also posting in chat to try and get more traffic!

Thanking you in advance.

No there isnt ..no school ever has bullies because that effects their grades ... therfore they dont need schemes.., Personally i think every school needs parent feedback every year covering everything. Teachers need training to understand that x y z affect the sole of the child their peace and friendships ... this is not childhood squabbles this mean kids running riot
