Anti-bullying

What to do if…

You are being bullied – Tell somebody, your form tutor or your Head of Year.

ANTI-BULLYING CHARTER

As a pupil of Porthcawl Comprehensive School, I understand that:

• I have the right to be happy, safe and to be treated with respect inside school.
• I also have the right to travel to and from school without being bullied.
• I will always treat others with respect.
• I will not tolerate bullying; neither will I bully others.
• I will not judge others by appearance alone.
• I will accept others regardless of race, religion, culture or disability.
• If I am bullied, I will tell an adult and ask for help – bullying is too serious not to be reported.
• The school will treat complaints of bullying seriously.
• The school will then deal with bullying quickly, firmly and fairly.
• I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE BULLIED.

ADVICE TO BULLIED PUPILS

If bullied a pupil is advised to:

• try to stay calm and look as confident as they can
• be firm and clear; look the bully in the eye and tell them to stop
• get away from the situation as quickly as you can
• tell an adult e.g. a teacher, what has happened straight away
• tell the ‘Peer support listening service’
• tell their family
• take a friend with them if they are scared to tell an adult by themselves
• use the support services in school
• not blame themselves for what has happened
