Anti-bullying awareness days are held. Free from ridicule, harassment and isolation. Where possessions are not stolen or 'borrowed' by others. Where learning takes place in a supportive environment. All staff must to be committed to a common response to bullying when it does happen.
Immediate intervention is crucial.
Clear procedures must take place when a case of bullying is discovered. The school needs to provide support for the individual teacher so that they are able to maintain a safe classroom environment. The discipline policy and structures are mechanisms to support and maintain safe supportive classrooms. There must be clear guidelines that stipulate the responsibilities teaching staff have when dealing with a case of bullying. Everyone needs to accept that his or her classroom must be a safe, supportive environment where bad behaviour is not tolerated and bullying is recognised, publicly condemned and dealt with.
