If you are being bullied or witness someone being bullied
- Bullying is serious and will not be tolerated in our school
- If you are being bullied write your name on a piece of paper and write the words 'I'm being bullied"
- If you know someone who is being bullied HELP them.
- Hand the paper to a teacher. They will act quickly. They will keep secret how they found out.
5 Steps to protect you
Step 1 - Tell Someone
- •   Tell someone - a friend, a teacher, your parent
- •   Letting someone know will mean you've got someone to help you
- •   If a teacher knows they will deal with it seriously
Step 2 - Reporting it
- •   Don't wait until you're getting upset
- •   Once you've reported it you'll be asked to record it secretly
Step 3 - Recording it
You'll be asked to record it in a small notebook. Record it like this. Use these headlines
- •   What? - brief details
- •   When? - time
- •   Where? Place
- •   Who? - with their names
- •   Witness - with their names
- •   What did you do?
- •   After three entries in your book get it signed
- •   Action will be taken
- •   You will be involved. You will be protected
Step 4 - It's really serious
If it is really serious tell the teacher you've reported to immediately. They will decide what to do.     Â
Step 5 - Who can help
Sometimes pupils worry about who to tell. You might not be able to speak with a teacher. Here are some ideas:
- •   Older pupils - particularly prefects
- •   A friend - who can ask to see a teacher
- •   Write a note - and ask for it to be put in the school office for a teacher you feel you can speak with
- •   Classroom Assistant or Lunchtime Supervisor
- •   Mrs Hickey our School Nurse
Bullying is serious. We are here to protect you.
