Helping your child deal with bullying, aggression and violence

There is no place for bullying, aggression or violence in learning environments that value, teach and model respect and inclusion

You have an important role to play that starts with talking to your child about what they can do to build a safe and positive learning space for everyone. Every member of the school community has a right to feel safe and protected from bullying. Bullying can have long-lasting effects on those involved. It’s important to help your child take a stand against anti-social behaviour and to develop strategies for dealing with conflict situations.

Help your child learn how to be a respectful and responsible member of their school community.

  • Learn about the key components of bullying
  • Help your child understand the role of bystander action in bullying situations
  • Discover ways to work with the school to tackle bullying
  • Access support for children who are bullied or who bully others
