Bullying

What is bullying?

All children have the right not to be hurt. Bullying can often be things like name-calling, hitting, happy-slapping (when someone gets attacked and it's filmed on a mobile phone) or stealing someones things. You can also be bullied by receiving nasty messages either via mobile phones or the Internet or false rumours that are being spread about you.

Are you or a friend of yours being bullied?

If you are, you are not alone. Many other children and young people are also being bullied and this must be stopped. Remember, it's not your fault and you have the right to live without being picked on. There are many ways to get help. However it probably won't stop until you tell someone. Speak to someone you trust.

Refuse to put up with the bullying
Walk away, tell an adult or friend and avoid fighting
If your friend is being bullied, take their worries seriously and stick up for them.

Anti-bullying Strategy

We want every child, young person and adult in Wandsworth to be treated with dignity and respect. We believe that our homes, communities, schools, youth facilities, neighbourhoods, workplaces, streets and recreational spaces should be free from fear and intimidation so that everyone can develop, learn and flourish, make a positive contribution and achieve their potential.
