Bullying and examples of good practice ...

2 replies

LRB978 · 05/09/2014 15:08

Can I have some ideas of good practice for tackling bullying and supporting the more vulnerable students in a school.

Ds has just gone into year 8 and was involved in an incident yesterday. The school he is at is the best in the area for learning support, but has always had an issue with bullying. I'm not overly impressed with the response I have had to my enquiry as to what measures would/could be put in place to support him in future and am planning on going further with it, but would like to have some examples of practices which work to hand to counter any response I may get. This isn't the first time ds has come home upset but is the worst and I want the school to realize how seriously I am taking it. I would also like to be able to help change the endemic underlying issue that has survived at least 2 decades and several headteachers and SMTs, as it is a fab school in every other way

The school that my son is at has a policy that "anything less than being pleasant and kind to another child constitutes bullying" -- I found this a brilliant and clear line to draw as I was thinking does my son need to learn to ignore the "banter"......they then get both of the kids in separately to talk it thru. They dont always punish the bully (depends what it is) .... but have a policy of educating them of their ignorance as for many this behaviour is normalised in their homes.
