Bullying, including cyber-bullying: staff factsheet

Download your ready-made resources here

Share this factsheet with your staff to:

  • Remind them about what bullying is and why it's important to be alert to bullying
  • Remind them what signs to look for
  • Make sure they know what to do if a child is being bullied or if they have a concern
  • Help them know what to do if a child tells them about prejudice-based bullying

You could either use it as a basis for talking about the issue at a staff meeting, or send it round for staff to read themselves.

Want to make it more interactive? Use these questions to start a discussion at a staff meeting:

  • When would you refer a concern about bullying to the DSL?
  • What can we do to prevent bullying in our school?
  • Which children are particularly vulnerable to bullying? How can we proactively support these pupils?
  • What does our school policy say about bullying and cyber-bullying?
  • How could we improve our response to bullying as a school?
  • In what ways can we teach pupils about bullying through curricular and non-curricular activities?
