Reviewing your Anti-Bullying Policy

What does your anti-bullying policy say about your school? As Anti-Bullying Week approaches, Lauren Seager-Smith looks at the key ingredients of an effective policy

With Anti-Bullying Week approaching (November 14 to 18) we are aware that a large number of schools will use the week to write or update their anti-bullying policy.

We are often asked for a template policy but we do not make this available, because for a policy to mean anything, it should involve collaboration from the whole-school community and reflect the very individual needs of each school and the community it serves.

There are however some guiding principles to support schools in writing anti-bullying policies and we have put these together as part of the suite of Anti-Bullying Week resources available on the Anti-Bullying Alliance website (see further information).
