Tackling bullying in schools is crucial

Bullying remains a very big issue for parents, children and teachers alike. Its effects can be devastating and for many continues well into adult life. So it is no surprise that a positive response is needed.

In response, the ISPCC has developed its “Shield My School” anti-bullying toolkit for schools.

This is a self-evaluative tool that allows school teachers to review their current anti-bullying policies and codes, examining strengths and weaknesses and forming positive improvements wherever they might be needed.
