Resource: What do I need to know about bullying?
Getting help from your school or system
Everyone can help prevent school bullying, and most people have directly or indirectly participated in, witnessed, or experienced some form of bullying in their lives.
Teachers and parents and carers play an important role in preventing and responding to bullying, by modelling good relationships and reminding students of acceptable/unacceptable behaviours.
You can find more information on your school or system’s bullying and relationship policies and practices, using the following links.
