3. Survey: looking at bullying in school
Some families said:
“Because my child is different from other children in her school.”
“Because he can’t get away fast as he is in a wheelchair.”
“He is vulnerable, non verbal and not able to report an issue.”

4. These key statistics show evidence relating to people bullying people with disabilities:
• children with special needs in primary schools are twice as likely to suffer from continuous bullying. At the age of 7, 12% of children with special needs and 11% of pupils with a statement said they were bullied ‘all of the time’ by other pupils, compared to just 6% of their non-disabled peers. (Institute of Education 2014). • In 2007, Mencap and Savage reported that eight out of ten young people with learning disabilities experience bullying. •children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) 70% of them have experienced bullying.
