Cyber Bullying Survey

New guidance from Warwickshire's Family Information Service about online safety

New DCSF guidance about bullying outside school and protecting school staff from cyber bullying Prejudice driven bullying and hate crime Young people often tell us that bullying is the thing they are most worried about. More children call ChildLine about bullying than anything else. All of us will know someone who has been bullied or has bullied someone else. Bullying can happen in many places, including school, the street and home. Bullying can be made worse when other people are aware of what is happening but take no action. Bullying can disrupt a child or young person’s personal, social and educational achievement. Bullying will never disappear but we are working hard in Warwickshire to try and reduce bullying and to make sure that children and young people who are bullied, or who are bullying others, get the help and support they need. We have created an Anti-Bullying Partnership, a group of people and organisations who are working together to try and tackle bullying. You can find out more about what we are doing by reading our Anti-Bullying Strategy On this website you will find lots of information about what bullying is and what we are trying to do about it.
