1 Denbigh School Anti-Bullying Policy - Students
2 Bullying has no place anywhere in the Denbigh School Community. Our aim is to provide a safe and comfortable environment where our students are able to learn and to achieve. Our aim is to promote equality and diversity and to ensure the safety and well-being of all members of the school community. Our aim is to create a culture at Denbigh where any type of bullying is not tolerated. DEFINITION Bullying is wrong. There are no exceptions to this statement. Bullying is any action which hurts or threatens another person, either physically or mentally and which occurs repeatedly over a period of time. It is therefore different from an unpremeditated act of violence, or a disagreement that students may experience from time to time. Bullying is done with the deliberate intention of causing distress and usually takes place over a period of time. At Denbigh School we will work together to both prevent bullying and deal effectively with those incidents which occur. This reflects the aims of the School. RESPONDING TO BULLYING Reporting incidents We will encourage students to report incidents of bullying by: Maintaining a high level of awareness of issues through the School Council, assemblies, workshops, PHSEE modules, advice leaflets and mentoring programmes including peer mentoring. Providing systems which make it easy for students to report incidents confidentially. Taking seriously and responding quickly to reported incidents. Providing training for staff (teaching and non-teaching) to respond appropriately when incidents come to their attention. The use of abc@denbigh.net Denbigh s online anonymous reporting system. Strategies for dealing with incidents In incidents of bullying there will be victims and bullies. We recognise that there may also be followers and observers who support or provoke bullying behaviour. When a bullying incident occurs verbal or written reports will be obtained from all those involved, including witnesses where appropriate. A range of strategies will be considered according to the particular incident investigated. As a general rule the victim will be involved in decisions about strategies used for a particular incident. In addition to punishing the bully in accordance with existing sanctions, we will try to provide help towards modifying bullying behavior through applying restorative justice techniques.
3 Recording and monitoring of bullying All reported incidents of bullying by a student will be recorded by the member of staff approached. Serious or ongoing incidents will be reported to parents. All reported incidents of bullying are recorded in the register of bullying incidents which is kept locked away in Student Services. There will be frequent monitoring of students views on bullying at Denbigh through the regular Anti-Bullying Campaign Surveys and the Schools Councils. At Denbigh School we believe that all students have the right to feel confident, safe and valued. Therefore, we all have a responsibility to respect ourselves and others, and report all incidents of bullying. POLICY STATEMENT PREVENTION OF BULLYING IN DENBIGH SCHOOL Whilst bullying is not seen as a significant problem in Denbigh School, it is recognised that some bullying occurs from time to time. Bullying in School may be defined as: The ongoing willful, conscious desire to hurt, threaten, upset or frighten anyone. It can include incidents away from the school premises which are school related, but it excludes injury through accident. It is recognised that some bullying might be through individual incidents of a relatively minor nature but which assume a greater significance when viewed in context, perhaps through their frequency or reason. Denbigh School views bullying seriously. The principal aim is to foster an atmosphere where bullying is discouraged and is seen to be inappropriate and wrong. Bullying impacts on its victims attendance and attainment and can result in a life-long negative impact on some young peoples lives. All staff are trained to be vigilant with regard to the safeguarding of all students and to report any concerns to either Heads of House or the designated member/s of staff for safeguarding. There is regular supervision during social time of areas of the School where there may be particular opportunities for bullying to occur. There is also a staff presence/visibility during lesson change-overs, break, lunch-time before and after School. The School actively discourages bullying of any kind including: Name calling Physical bullying hitting, pushing, poking Emotional bullying making fun of Taking other people s equipment Cyberbullying Prejudice-driven bullying homophobic, sexist, racist or any other forms of discrimination including the bullying of students with Special Educational Needs and those with disabilities. Bullying is one of the topics that will be covered in the School s Tutorial Programme. Students will learn strategies or skills to avoid becoming the bully s victim. Students are actively encouraged to report all incidents of bullying to either their Form Tutor or Head of House. If they think they are being bullied they are encouraged to: Tell an adult that they trust Believe that it will be sorted out
4 Believe that it is right to tell an adult Tell themselves that they do not deserve to be bullied Keep with their friends and try to ignore the bully Keep safe in School stay in public places where there are a lot of people. The School also provides an on-line reporting system (abc@denbigh.net) for students who do not feel able to talk directly to an adult. This is monitored by one of our Heads of House on a daily basis. If bullying does occur students and parents are encouraged to report it. All reports will be followed up and the School undertakes to: operate a reporting and recording procedure; deal with all reports speedily, fairly and positively; take account of the evidence and all views; provide anonymity for the victim wherever possible; offer advice and support to the victim; offer advice and support to the person responsible; ensure that all involved are kept informed; operate a system of sanctions or punishments which will reflect the seriousness of the offence; involve parents of both the victim and the bully where this is considered to be necessary. Children are not expected to tolerate bullying or to suffer in silence. They will be encouraged to disclose problems in an environment in which they feel safe and have confidence. Early intervention is important if behaviour is to be changed. Students must therefore report any incidents of bullying to a member of staff with whom they feel comfortable. This information will then be shared with the Form Tutor /Head of House. Elements of bullying Instances of bullying can occur either on the way to or from school or within school, including social time. It can vary from vicious assault to horseplay and can be verbal in nature. It can occur several times a day and over a long period of time. Bullying can also take place in the classroom. A bully gets satisfaction from other youngsters pain and humiliation. Research shows that 15% of youngsters are bullied and some are both victim and bully. The methods adopted by boys and girls tend to be different; boys can be more physical and girls may be more subtle. Bullying can be carried out by individuals or groups and often bullies try to include others in their activities. Most bullies feel confident enough to act in public, the onlookers becoming part of the process. They depend for their success on the silence of their victims. Is there a typical bully? They are often bigger, stronger and older than their victims. They are characterized by impulsiveness and a need to dominate others. Is there a typical victim of bullying? Victims tend to be weaker than or different to their attacker, either physically or emotionally. The effects of bullying have been defined as:
5 The long term effects of persistent bullying can make youngsters feel isolated and wonder what is wrong with them. They may begin to feel that they deserve teasing and harassment, so that they become withdrawn and less willing to take social, intellectual or vocational risks. Recognising victims This is often difficult. Children tend to keep such things secret. Be vigilant and look out for injury or damaged property, abnormal behaviour, pupils that are withdrawn, unusually shy or reticent. Sometimes students tend to hang back as if they want to talk to you draw them out. Look out for patterns of absence, lateness to lessons, unwillingness to leave or to be near other members of the class. Cyberbullying Cyberbullying is the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) particularly mobile phones and the internet, to deliberately upset someone else. Cyberbullying may consist of threats, harassment, embarrassment, humiliation, defamation or impersonation. This form of bullying can affect either students or staff and it can have a serious impact on the health, well-being and self-confidence of those targeted. Cyberbullying can take place at any time, day or night. Incidents can take place in the victim s own home, intruding into areas that have previously been regarded as safe and private. Denbigh School takes any form of cyberbullying very seriously and will take action against any student using ICT inappropriately. Denbigh ICT servers automatically monitor all communications and searches and will filter out any inappropriate words or phrases. These reported incidents will then be investigated by Heads of House. Students must report all incidents to either their Form Tutor or Head of House. Staff must report any incident of cyberbullying to their designated Line Manager or to a member of the Leadership Team. Denbigh School will encourage students and staff to stay safe when using any ICT by: The use of Stay Safe On-Line posters displayed in all teaching rooms. Providing tips in the Student Planner of how to minimise the risk of on-line bullying entitled 10 top tips to minimize risk of online bullying. The use of an Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement which every student and parent must sign giving their agreement to follow the esafety rules and to support the safe and responsible use of ICT at Denbigh. The use of an Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement that all staff must sign giving their agreement to support the safe and responsible use of ICT at Denbigh. Increasing students knowledge and understanding of how to keep safe within ICT lessons. The procedure to be adopted in dealing with any type of bullying incidents: A decision needs to be taken initially about the level of seriousness of the incidents concerned, before beginning the anti-bullying process. Procedure 1. After the first known incident, both the bully and the victim should be counselled by the Tutor or the Head of House. A letter may be sent home to the parents/carers of the victim and the bully.
6 2. If the incidents continue, the parents are brought into school to see the Head of House. A strategy is developed with the consent of both sets of parents/carers concerned to deal with the problem. 3. If the incidents still continue, the parents/carers are brought in to see the Head of House and a member of the Leadership Team. Further counselling takes place of both bully and victim. Additional external help may be sought for the bully and victim, through educational welfare or another suitable person. 4. As a last resort, if the incidents still continue, the exclusion procedure may begin. 5. If an incident of bullying is considered to be serious enough to warrant an exclusion the above steps may be by-passed. Recording Bullied students should record the events in writing. The bully should also record the events in writing. Discussions with both parties should be fully documented, as soon as possible after the events. All the above must be filed in the student s files. Each incident must be recorded in the Denbigh School Register of Bullying Incidents and on the proforma. (see attached Form to be stored). Any prejudice-based incident of bullying must be recorded in the Denbigh School register of Prejudice-based incidents and on a separate proforma. (See attached form to be stored). Bullying Flowline Summary 1. Incident(s) i. Reported. ii. Counselled by Form Tutor, Head of House or an appropriate member of staff. iii. Letter sent home/ phone call home to parents/carers of victim and bully. iv Punishment (if needed) for bully. 2. If Incidents Continue i.

Parents/carers asked in to see Assistant Head or Headteacher and Head of House. ii. Further counselling (additional external help may be sought for bully and victim). 4. If Incident(s) Still Continue i. Exclusion procedures may begin. The School s anti-bullying campaign Regular surveys are carried out to discover the extent of bullying. We look at whether there are any patterns in year groups and between boys and girls. The logging system will enable the school to analyse this data to inform how best to tackle issues. Parents are consulted about their views on safety within the School. A series of school assemblies are held to raise the issues of bullying so that all students are aware of what bullying is.
7 There should be a follow-up through the PSHEE programme. We use peer mentors to encourage openness. Anti-bullying strategies The policy is whole school it has a high profile and we all must approach the problem consistently. Everyone is to be involved. Clear lines of communication are established so that those who are threatened should feel that they should have someone to talk to. We encourage students, through the tutor groups, not to keep quiet. Students are made aware that they can talk to Tutors, Heads of House or any teaching or non-teaching member of staff about any incidents of bullying. Any member of staff approached on a bullying matter will not ignore it. The Tutor and /or the Head of House of the student will be immediately informed. The School s physical environment is examined. We monitor all parts of the School to minimise places where bullying has the potential to occur. This again can be achieved through an analysis of the survey data, the use of our satellite group and through discussion with our supervisory and duty staff. We involve parents in the process as soon is necessary. Parents and students should know that something is being done and be clear about what action we are taking. The School will use opportunities throughout the school year to raise awareness of the negative consequences of any type of bullying (e.g. Anti-Bullying Week in November of each year and House Assemblies). Each incident of any kind of bullying will be recorded in Denbigh School s Register of Bullying Incidents and will give a central record for all staff (particularly Tutors and all Pastoral Staff) to read. This will give an indication of patterns which may emerge of both bullies and victims.
