Anti Bullying

The Anti Bullying Steering Group (ABSG) have been meeting regularly on Mondays giving students the opportunity to drop in and discuss issues with the team. The group have also been busy promoting the new Anti Bullying referral form which has given the students at Redden Court another avenue for reporting bullying. This has seen Year 7's particularly making use of this with a handful of forms coming in to me. Depending on the incident I decide, alongside the Head of Year, whether an adult will solely deal with it or the ABSG can support the child who feels they are being bullied. This has been useful in helping the children establish whether the incidents actually amount to bullying or if they are experiencing some 'one-off' unkind behaviour.

We have attended training from the Diana Award to promote a positive relationship with the internet and how to cope and deal with cyber bullying. The team will be delivering their own sessions to Year 5's in feeder schools, to Year 6's at the Induction Days and also to our own Year 7's in Activities Week.
