Bullying Prevention Month: Signs Worth Flagging ✋
October marks UK Bullying Prevention Month, a timely reminder that the adults who spot bullying earliest are rarely in the staffroom when it happens. It's often TAs on the playground, LSAs in the corridor, and teachers who are confided in.
Bullying today isn't limited to the playground either. Online bullying can follow a child home, which means the behaviour changes you see in class on a Monday morning are sometimes the only visible clue something happened over the weekend.
➡️Here are some of the less obvious signs worth flagging, and a reminder of how valuable your observations are.
If pastoral care and safeguarding are things you take seriously in your practice, we work with schools across Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk who value that just as much. Head to our Job’s Board to find our latest vacancies or contact our team for more information.
