Bullying sometimes happens at Carden Bullying sometimes happens at Carden. The difference between then and now is that we have the skills to: Minimise it happening Have the confidence the call it that when it happens Have the skills to deal with it when it happens Have the confidence to stand up to it in all it’s forms

Difference between bullying and relational conflict Once & unaware is being rude Once and aware is being mean Repeated and aware is bullying Constant work on bystander behaviour.

Some targets of bullying are difficult to protect because of their own behaviours. Getting pupils and adults to understand that it’s not just “nice” people who can be the target of bullying and just because someone is difficult to like, it doesn’t justify bullying behaviour.

Some people find it hard to identify bullying/relational conflict because of their own SEN – Social Stories and Makaton help.

Dealing with targets of bullying as much as perpetrators – avoid victim status and repeat issues

Case studying bullying & prejudice based incidents to develop practice – not being afraid of the challenge

Going on and on and on and on and on…… Going on and on and on and on and on…….about anti-bullying work, school values, equalities etc. etc .
