Information on Bullying

 

If you are being bullied you can speak to a member of staff at the school/ college that you attend. 

Staff members have a responsibility to safeguard you.

 

If you don’t feel confident speaking to a member of staff you can try the following:

  • Write them an email or letter explaining what is happening
  • Speak with a trusted person
  • Contact a support helpline - You can find support organisations below

 

If nothing is being done to help you, the following steps can be taken:

  • Read the Bullying Policy
  • Make a formal complaint 
  • Speak to a more senior member of staff 
  • Keep a record of what is happening

For more information please view the Havering SENDIASS bullying information leaflet for Young People

If you are unable to find the information that you would like please contact us
