Anti-bullying: staff briefing

This briefing covers:

• Why it's important to stay alert to bullying
• What bullying is and who might be more vulnerable
• How staff can spot the signs of bullying
• What staff should do if they have concerns
• How they can support a child affected by prejudice-based bullying
• Evaluating your school's approach to preventing bullying (optional)

1. Download the PowerPoint presentation, facilitator notes, group activity pack and staff factsheet
2. Decide whether your staff need in-depth training, or more of an overview
• If you want to cover this topic in depth, use all the slides and activities. The session should last around 40 minutes
• If you want to give staff more of an overview, miss out all or some of the activities. The session should last between 15 and 25 minutes
3. Work through the facilitator notes. They tell you everything you need to know to prepare, including what slides to use or delete to run this session. You’ll need these to hand when presenting
