Responsibilities.

Every teacher must recognise its extent and impact and take steps to stop it happening. When bullying is ignored, pupils will suffer harassment. It can cause life long damage to victims. Both bullies and those regularly victimised are more likely to become criminals.

=Classrooms must always be safe places: =


 * Free from ridicule, harassment and isolation
 * Where possessions are not stolen or 'borrowed' by others
 * Where learning takes places in a supportive environment
 * No bullying zone
