We believe that ALL learners have a right not to be bullied or harassed and that it is always unacceptable. Our staff, learners and parents should be assured that known incidents of any kind of bullying or harassment will be responded to appropriately. The ethos of Grŵp Llandrillo Menai and its training partners is to foster high expectations of outstanding behaviour and will consistently challenge any behaviour that falls below this.
The College and its training partners operate a zero tolerance policy on Bullying or any form of Harassment, including sexual harassment.
Work based learners who follow training with COPA or other training providers should read their policy.

Anti-Bullying Alliance
Bullying/harassment is something that someone does on purpose that is meant to hurt you. Bullying is offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting behaviour. When this behaviour becomes persistent and threatening, then bullying can become a major problem for all concerned. Bullying behaviour can be:
Physical – pushing, poking, kicking, hitting, biting, pinching, taking property or money etc.
Verbal - name calling, sarcasm, provoking, spreading rumours/unkind stories, threats, teasing, belittling. Sending hurtful text messages and emails
Emotional – isolating others, tormenting, hiding books, threatening gestures, ridicule, humiliation, intimidating, excluding, manipulation and coercion.
Sexual – unwanted physical contact, inappropriate touching, abusive comments, homophobic abuse, exposure to inappropriate films etc.
Online /cyber – posting hurtful things on social media, sharing photos, sending nasty text messages, social exclusion
Indirect - can include the exploitation of individuals.
Harassment is when someone is purposefully violates someone else’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for another person.

Do you think you may be a bully? Do you pick on people or push them around? Do you often tease or mock someone, or are part of a group where this happens? If you are, this behaviour needs to stop.
Bullying and harassment hurts. Young people commit suicide every year in the UK, and many more miss out on school or college and their education. Low self-esteem and low confidence are the long-term effects of bullying and harassment. People can change the way they behave, but they need to deal with what’s causing the behaviour first.
