Anti-Bullying
Anti-Bullying
TTC is a place where every person has the right to be themselves and to be included in a safe and happy environment. Everyone at our school is equal and should be treated with respect.
Bullying of any kind is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at our College. At our College the safety, welfare and well-being of all students and staff is a key priority. We take all incidences of bullying seriously and it is our duty as a whole college community to take measures to prevent and tackle any bullying, harassment or discrimination.
We actively promote values of respect and equality and work to ensure that difference and diversity is celebrated across the whole college community. We want to enable our students to become responsible citizens and to prepare them for life in the 21st Century Britain. These values reflect those that will be expected of our students by society when they leave college and enter in the world of work and further study.
We are committed to improving our college’s approach to tackling bullying by regularly monitoring, reviewing and assessing the impact of our preventative measures.

Tell an adult or someone more senior than yourself immediately.
Do not be, or pretend to be, friends with a bully.

If you are being bullied:
Tell an adult or someone more senior than yourself.

Stay with a group of friends, there is safety in numbers.
Walk confidently away, go straight to a member of staff.

Advise your child not to fight back.
Reassure your child that there is nothing wrong with her/him.
