Schools have a legal duty of care towards their pupils and a responsibility to prevent bullying amongst them. Schools must have a behaviour policy that outlines measures to encourage good behaviour in schools. Some schools have a separate anti-bullying policy, which sets out how bullying is reported, recorded and what action will be taken. These policies must be made available to parents and may be on the school website. If not, you can ask the school for a copy.
