Tips:
- Get creative over how to share your anti-bullying policy. A paper policy is a good start but how about visual displays or pupil made films to emphasise different areas of the policy.
- Utilise Anti-Bullying Week to refresh and share the policy amongst the whole school community
- Is your policy shared with new school staff on induction?
- Does your school policy extend to after school clubs etc? Have you shared it with them?
- Can you distribute your policy via assemblies, parent meetings, parent evenings, Anti-Bullying Week events, when children first start at school etc
