2 Coombe Girls School (CGS) Vision Statement At CGS, all members of the school community should have a sense of responsibility and mutual respect for others. These values engender a safe, caring and friendly learning culture. We acknowledge that all institutions contain individuals with the potential for bullying. This type of behaviour is not tolerated; it undermines the values central to the school and is a crime that schools and the police take seriously. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 makes it a criminal offence to pursue a course of conduct amounting to harassment of a person or which causes a person to fear that violence will be used against them. This policy should be used alongside CGS Behaviour Policy, the School Improvement Plan, the Equal Opportunities Policy, the Staff Handbook, the SEAL programme and the PSHE and Citizenship schemes of work. Statement of Intent This policy is intended to help prevent all forms of bullying in this community and ensure that members of the school behave in a respectful way towards others. Providing a safe and happy place to learn is essential to achieving school improvement, raising achievement and attendance, promoting equality and diversity, and ensuring the safety and well-being of all members of the school community. Members of the school should: prevent, de-escalate and or stop any continuation of harmful behaviour react to bullying incidents in a reasonable proportionate and consistent way safeguard the person who has experienced bullying and trigger support for that person apply disciplinary sanctions to the person causing the bullying and ensure that she learns from the experience, possibly through multi-agency support. This policy and accompanying procedures are an integral part of safeguarding and personal well-being which aims to support the Every Child Matters outcomes. What is Bullying? The Government defines bullying as behaviour by an individual or group, repeated over time, that intentionally hurts another individual or group either physically or emotionally. A person can be bullied for a variety of reasons including race, religion, culture, special educational needs, gender, disability, appearance, health conditions, sexual orientation or home circumstances. Bullying can take place between pupils, between pupils and staff or between staff; by individuals or groups; face to face, indirectly or using a range of methods. In line with this statement, some identified bullying behaviour categories are listed below (please note this list is not exhaustive): Exclusion ignoring, staring, obviously whispering about someone, not attempting to stop or prevent an incident, etc Page 2
3 Psychological bullying name calling, swearing, threatening, spreading rumours, offensive comments, etc Physical bullying pushing, kicking, spitting, damage or theft of property etc Cyber bullying inappropriate use of the Internet, mobile phones, video, , chat rooms, etc Direct verbal bullying threats, insults, nasty teasing etc Bystanders there is no such thing as an innocent bystander in these circumstances. A bystander could be an associate who actively joins the bullying, a re-enforcer who gives positive feedback by smiling, laughing or an outsider who stays silent and thereby condones or collude with the bully. Reporting and Recording Bullying Students are asked to tell a peer mentor, prefect, listening prefect, sixth form volunteer or a member of staff whenever an act of unkindness occurs; this will be treated with confidence. They could also tell someone outside of school who they trust who can report the incident for them. Parents and staff will encourage students to take responsibility for their actions. Staff should endeavour to be vigilant in looking for early signs of distress in students or other staff such as deterioration of work, spurious reasons for absence or changes in behaviour. If staff feel they have any concerns about pupils/students they need to tell either the Head of Year or the Assistant Head Teacher. Anti-bullying is promoted regularly through various aspects of the curriculum and Student Voice activities; these include PSHE and Citizenship, school and year assemblies, Thought for the Week, Active Tutorial sessions, SEAL and school events. Every year the school will promote anti-bullying week with an assembly and an active tutorial programme during the Autumn Term. Staff will receive training on an annual basis either in staff meetings or through Head of Year meetings. SLT will review the anti-bullying policy annually and take part in training on dealing with issues such as language and cyber bullying. It is made clear that it is every body s responsibility to report bullying behaviour. There is information in the pupils planner (see Appendix A) which states clearly what bullying is and gives examples of unacceptable bullying behaviours, together with recommended websites to contact for advice. There is information in the Staff Handbook to inform staff about how to respond to bullying incidents. All staff are trained to report bullying using the schools behavioural logging system called Behaviour Watch (BW). Different kinds of bullying may require different outcomes. Staff are on duty at key times during the day including lunch and break times. Any bullying incidents must be recorded on BW including the name of the victim. Parents must be informed of any incidents that have occurred and the outcomes. The Head of Year or Assistant Headteacher will ensure this has happened. Parents are encouraged to contact the Head of Year should their child report bullying incidents in school. These complaints will be dealt with promptly. Anti-bullying work is regularly monitored and evaluated by the Heads of Year and the Pastoral Team. If bullying persists, further strategies will be taken, using multi agencies. The school makes use of the Police Safer Neighbourhoods team and other visiting speakers to promote anti-bullying. All prefects and sixth form mentors receive training on how to deal with issues and they are monitored and made aware of the expectations they must abide by. Page 3
4 Responding to Bullying CGS has a pro-active and positive approach in the prevention of bullying and strategies for dealing with individual incidents. An established support network provides support for the bullied person. If bullying is to be stopped, we must not only punish inappropriate behaviour, but also try to change behaviour patterns of those who feel the need to bully others. It should be noted that the same person can adopt different roles at different times or indeed at the same time and also that some people are more vulnerable to bullying than others. If an incident is reported, a thorough investigation is carried out. Members of staff, peer mentors listen to all parties and any witnesses. The perceived bullied person(s), bully(ies) and witness(es) are interviewed and written accounts taken. In all cases of bullying, if the victim is happy to do so, they will meet the bully so they can gain some ownership over the situation. Information is passed to the appropriate Head of Year(s) or Pastoral Team member who will take reasonable, proportionate and consistent action if deemed appropriate. Heads of Year regularly monitor BW to ensure incidents are dealt with promptly. In meetings between the HoY, Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator and the line manager, any incident of bullying will be discussed. Any act of bullying will need to be recorded on BW, it must include the name of the victim and the action that was taken. The outcomes are reported to pupils, parents, staff, governors and other stakeholders as appropriate. CGS is committed to the use of restorative justice to empower the victim and to get the perpetrator to understand the consequence of his/her actions. Whole staff training has taken place and CGS is involved with This will take place in a safe environment and only when both sides feel confident to undertake this. There may have to be individual meetings before hand so that everyone in the meeting is clear of why they are doing this and what the school hope to achieve. This may also be needed to give the victim the confidence to have the meeting and to speak out. The victim or the perpetrator can meet the listening prefects beforehand, and if all sides agree, they could be part of the restorative justice meeting. All parents of the students involved will be contacted. After the meeting has taken place the Head of Year/Deputy Head of Year will need to see the victim to discuss how they feel, if they feel that this has resolved the issue and to make sure the bullying has ceased. Throughout the year the Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher, Head of Year, Deputy Head of Year and listening prefects will undertake site safety tours with all year groups; this information will be used to identify any areas of concern and to implement solutions as appropriate. The school is committed to challenging derogatory language; pupils will not be tormented about their race, religion, sexuality, hair colour, shape or size. The law empowers Headteachers, to such extent as is reasonable, to regulate the behaviour of students when they are off school site (which is particularly pertinent to regulating cyberbullying) and empowers members of school staff to impose disciplinary action for inappropriate behaviour. The law also permits staff to use physical force in certain circumstances. The following actions will occur when an act of bullying has taken place: Support offered to all parties Page 4
5 The bully will be informed that their behaviour is unacceptable, given a clear warning to stop from repeating the negative behaviour. Clear expectations of acceptable behaviour will be given An opportunity for the person to put right the harm caused, e.g. an apology from the bully or restorative justice meetings A contract may be established that will be signed by the student Parents/carers informed Other actions might include: The return or compensation for damaged personal property Detention Letter home Meeting with both parties, separately or together One to one meetings with the perpetrator and the victim Meeting with parents Seeking support from an outside agency Internal/external exclusion Information to other students that the negative behaviour is unacceptable Bullying can be a criminal offence. The school would support parents, where appropriate, if they decided to file complaints to the police. There may be certain circumstances where the school would contact the police. Appendix The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 Makes it a criminal offence where there are repeated incidents of behaviour amounting to harassment of a person or which causes a person to fear that violence will be used against them. Malicious Communications Act 1997 It is an offence to send an indecent, grossly offensive or threatening letter, electronic communication or other article with the intention that it should cause distress or anxiety. Communications Act 2003 It is an offence to send all form of public communication: grossly offensive, obscene, indecent or menacing communication; or a message known to be false for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety. Public Order Act 1986 It is an offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words, behaviour, writing, signs or other visual representation with the intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress. Computer Misuse Act 1990 This is relevant where cyberbullying takes the form of hacking into someone else s account. Crime and Disorder Act 1998 This may be used to appeal for an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) which prohibits this type of behaviour. This could be related to any form of bullying where there is evidence of a person, over 10 years old, whose behaviour is causing or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to others and where such order is needed to prevent further anti-social behaviour.
