If someone is hurting you, doing things to you against your will or being mean to you, tell someone: your parents, your friends, trusted teachers or other staff at school. You should also tell someone if you’re worried about someone else (another child you know, or even an adult). When we’re talking about bullying, don’t forget what STOP means in our school:
At our school, the staff with special training to help you to be safe are: Miss McFarland, Mrs Banks, and Mrs Smith alongside Mr Sutton and Mrs Scott-South, who make sure that everyone in school is safe.
You don’t have to speak to those members of staff – any adult in school will be able to help you.
Alternatively, you can fill in this form in and someone will get back to you:
If you don’t want to speak to someone in school, there are other ways to help.
You could try calling Childline on 0800 1111 or visit their website here which is full of useful advice about friendships, stress and anxiety, and loads of other useful stuff.
If you’re being bullied online or if you have any concerns about things on the internet, speak to a trusted adult, call the police or visit the Child Exploitation and Online Protection website
