Where can I turn for help and advice if my child's constant bullying isn't taken seriously and dealt with?
Thank you
Thank you for getting in touch.
We suggest that you look at the school's anti-bullying policy which you should be able to find on its website, and to follow the steps laid out in it. We would also suggest that you arrange a meeting with school staff to discuss your concerns.
If you continue to be unhappy about how the school is dealing with your concerns, then you can make a complaint to the school using its official complaints procedure – you should find information on how to do so on the school website.
What if someone is bullying you who would yo tell
Thank you for getting in touch. If you have any worries or concerns try not to deal with problems on your own, there is always someone who can help.
We suggest working out who is on your helping hand – think about 5 trusted people that you would tell if you were being bullied. That could be an adult at school such as a teacher or lunchtime supervisor, a parent or carer, a friend or sibling, or perhaps another family member like a grandparent, Aunt, or Uncle.
It is important that bullying is reported to the school so that it can be investigated and stopped.
If your being bullied in class can u move classes as my son is being bullied in class most of last year and now this year can I get this class table moved
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that your son is having trouble at school. Firstly, we would recommend that you speak to your son's class teacher about these issues so that they can try and make things better for him. If you have spoken to the Teacher and are still not happy, then you should speak to the Head or a member of SLT.
Moving classes may be an option that you could discuss with his teacher if there is an alternative class he could go to, however the best thing is for the issues he is experiencing to be addressed so that he can remain where he is.
I hope things get better for him.
hi if someone was giving u dirty looks in pe and u stood face to face with them is that bullying? also if u accidently hit them with ur bag does that count to
Hi
Bullying is anything done deliberately and more than once, to make you feel sad, scared or upset. Dirty looks can be a form of emotional bullying if it is being done on purpose and several times (Several Times On Purpose) and if this is happening, you should find an adult you can tell so that they can help make it stop. Standing face to face with someone sounds like it could be intimidation and can also be emotional bullying if done repeatedly.
An accident is just that - an accident...so accidentally hitting someone with your bag isn't bullying and as long as you say sorry and try not to do it again, this shouldn't cause any more problems.
Hi,
My 13 year old sister is getting bullied by a group of boys and she has expressed her concern to me and my mother. We informed the school about it and the school just changed her form class. The bullies then started to call her snitch and continued to bully her during lunchtimes and even made fun of her for being dyslexic. My sister told us that the school is not going to do much because the boys have been suspended for 2 weeks multiple times but the school won't do anything other than that as they think more about their reputation. She also told us that one of the boys was saying things to her and she told him shut up, the teacher saw all of this and only sent her out of the class and the boy did not even get questioned. I dont know what to do now as she does not trust the school at all as she keeps on saying the school will just suspend them again and then they will start bullying her again because that is what happens everytime and she is scared because the school wont do anything. How can i help my sister and what should I do?
Hi and thanks for contacting us. You sound like a very caring sibling and your sister is lucky to have you want to help her.
We can give some general advice, as it's not clear where you are.
Your parents, or whichever adult cares for your sister really need to speak to someone at the school to explain what has been happening and how this is affecting her. School should put measures in place to try and stop the bullying and should keep in regular contact with the parent/carer so that they know if these measures are effective and the bullying is improving.
If things are still not better after an agreed amount of time then there are other steps which can be taken. This involves using the school complaints procedure, which should be outlined on the school website or by asking the school. When this is followed, the complaint will usually go to the Chair of Governors to investigate.
There are some things your sister can be doing too - such as keeping a record of any incidents, noting names, places and times when they took place. The important thing is that she keeps telling adults what is happening and if one adult doesnt take her seriously, she needs to find another who will.
I hope this is has been helpful and that your sister gets the support she needs.
