- Bullying can be either verbal or physical, and is always designed to upset an individual. It can also involve stealing a person's possessions, or deliberately excluding them from group activities -basically, it is any form of victimisation.
- Bullying can be carried out by groups or individuals
- Watching bullying taking place without doing something to stop it is as much of an offence as doing the bullying yourself.
Action you can take when you know of bullying taking place:
(a) inform a member of staff or prefect;
(b) be supportive to the victim and stick up for him;
(c) encourage the victim to talk to someone in authority;
and, above all -
(d) don't get involved in the bullying.
Any boy found guilty of bullying in any shape or
form will be dealt with as follows:
1st offence - the culprit(s) will be dealt with by
the Housemaster as appropriate,
and the Headmaster informed.
2nd offence - the culprit(s) will be dealt with by
Deputy Heads or the Headmaster
in an appropriate fashion.Every pupil must be aware that no boy has the right to
make another's life unhappy in any way. |
