Bullying
We want all Kent's
children and young people to grow up feeling secure, especially at
school. We know that bullying can have a bad effect on a
child's education and we are committed to working with schools
and other organisations to prevent and tackle
bullying. We have a
Kent anti-bullying strategy set up which has full details
about what we do here in Kent to fight bullying.
If you are worried that your child is being bullied
If you are worried that your child is being bullied, you may
find our guide
"Why me? - A parents' guide to helping your child deal with
bullying" helpful. The booklet tells you about common
signs that your child may be being bullied, what forms
bullying can take, and details of how you can work with us and your
child's school to try and stop bullying problems.
If you are a child or young person who is being
bullied
If you're being bullied, or you're worried about bullying in
your school or around where you live, there are some places you can
get more information and help when you need it. The best way to
fight bullying is to make sure you tell someone what's happening.
Childline
offer a free and confidential helpline for children and young
people and can help if you're being bullied. To contact them call
0800 11 11 or send them a message via their
website.
