Bullying

If you are on the receiving end of bullying, there are many things that can be done to make your life easier.

You should speak to your teacher and tell your parents. All schools will have a bullying policy.

The DfES has developed a web site which is intended to show pupils, their families and teachers how to tackle a problem that has gone on for far too long.

The website is packed with new ideas, practical techniques and the valuable experiences of those who have been bullied, or have even bullied others, to demonstrate that you need not Suffer in Silence.
