Reporting and recording bullying
SLIDE 12
Reporting: what do young people say?
There’s no clarity over who to report to / how to report There’s a lack of understanding about what bullying is and isn’t – among pupils, parents and school staff Often we are not believed; the situation is judged too quickly and/or not taken seriously
SLIDE 13
Reporting/recording: some recommendations
- A shared definition of bullying displayed
throughout the school and known by all staff, students and parents.
- A variety of reporting methods that account for
communication needs and allow young people to feel safe and secure in reporting.
- Ensure that students understand that it is their right
to feel safe and secure in their environment.

Responding to bullying
SLIDE 17
Effective response – what children tell us they want
To be involved in the solution – we are often anxious that teachers will rush to punish and that this will cause more bullying. For schools to educate children and young people about why bullying hurts For the bullying to
- stop. This is more
important than who is right or wrong
SLIDE 18
A model of response
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3
STEP 1
- Safeguarding?
- Report and record
- Assure CYP (and parents) that you have taken their report
seriously and immediate action will be taken
STEP 2
- Use group roles to identify those involved
- Make it clear that the behaviour needs to stop
- Work with the group in the most effective way to stop
the behaviour reoccurring
STEP 3
- Reflect back as a school. What has this incident taught
us? e.g. do you have an issue with language in school? Is there a need for staff training? Refresh policies?
- Who needs to be informed of the change? Parents?
Secure the safety of those involved Stopping the behaviour reoccurring Whole school learning
