What to do if you think one of your pupils may be being bullied

As the adult delivering the session:

• Consider any pupils who are currently experiencing or witnessing bullying and identify how you will tackle this before delivering the session;
• be aware of any changes in pupil behaviour during the session as this may highlight a bullying-related issue; and
• ensure pupils do not disclose personal information or specific incidents during the session but remind them an adult in school will be available to talk to them afterwards. During the session, ensure pupils are taught:
• How to report bullying;
• the language to talk to a trusted adult about their experiences and feelings;
• when and how to ask for help and make sure they are listened to;
• that there are people who care and can help if they are struggling with a bullying-related issue; and
• the school’s anti-bullying policy.
