Bullying and Deaf Children: A guide for primary and secondary schools has been launched to help schools tackle any bullying issues that deaf pupils might be experiencing.
Its creators, The National Deaf Children’s Society, has carried out research showing that almost two-thirds of deaf young people have been bullied because of their deafness.
There are 45,000 deaf children and young people in the UK and the guide is aimed at mainstream teachers and SENCOs.
Supported by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, the resource highlights the signs to look out for to identify if bullying is taking place, and gives tips on creating a safer school environment to help tackle and prevent bullying. It covers all forms of bullying, including verbal, emotional – such as deliberately ignoring someone – physical and cyber-bullying.
