Transcript of Bullying Book - Staff 2013
At Decoy Community Primary School we expect
children to co-operate and be kind to one another, but
we know that from time to time, things go wrong.
Our Behaviour and Anti-Bullying Policy makes it clear
that we do not allow aggressive or unkind behaviour.
Children sometimes fall out with friends or say unkind
things in the heat of the moment.
This may not be bullying.
The key characteristics that turn
unkindness into bullying are as
follows;
That it is repeated and goes
on over time.
That it is deliberate and not
accidental.
The person who is bullying has
some sort of power over the
person being bullied. This could
be that the bully is bigger or
louder, or it could just be that
they have a toy that everyone
wants to play with.
Listen carefully to everything you are told. Do not
interrupt or put words into the child’s mouth.
Make a note on the behaviour chart or in the class
log either at the time or straight afterwards.
Remember to tell the child you are doing this.
Give a copy to the Headteacher or Deputy
Headteacher. This allows us to monitor bullying
incidents and look for patterns, which may indicate
that we need to make some changes.
If this is a minor incident, use the ‘No Blame’
approach and ensure that similar incidents do not
happen again.
Consider using the restorative justice approach.
(See appendix in Behaviour/Anti-Bullying Policy)
Apply sanctions following Decoy’s Behaviour Policy
as appropriate to the situation.
Discuss the incident with a member of the
Senior Management Team.
Discuss serious situations with parents, explaining
the actions taken to support the child.
