Half of teachers have seen colleagues bullied, survey shows

On average, 6% of respondents reported enduring bullying at work either weekly or daily.

Half of teachers have reported witnessing colleagues being bullied by other staff members, with one-third reporting being targets of bullying at least “every now and then” in their work.

A new study published on Tuesday from the Anti-Bullying Centre at Dublin City University suggests  education is a sector with high levels of workplace bullying, its researchers said. They said more must be done on foot of this research to develop strategies aimed at preventing such behaviours.
