Dear ALL
According to the charity 'Beat Bullying', at least 450,000 school children are bullied in school every week in the UK, and 3 children end up in A & E.
This is such an emotive and relevant topic and I'm hoping it would generate a lot of discussion, perhaps even some creative suggestions.I'm sure some of you have experienced bullying so perhaps you could draw on your own experience.
The most shocking thing for me is that some schools/teachers won't admit they have a problem and more disturbingly, won't intervene when they witness bullying incidents, or when approached by victims and their parents.
What are your views on how teachers, schools and even the government should tackle bullying? Some have suggested that parents should be held accountable (which I disagree with).....What should happen to the bully - punishment or support & re-education or outright expulsion? Is the 'No Blame Approach', whereby victims and bullies get treated the same really appropriate?
