We have considerable experience of assisting children who are the victim of bullying at school. Unsurprisingly, most of the bullying cases that we have dealt with tend to be at the more serious end of the spectrum, and are ones which parents have been unable to resolve satisfactorily themselves.
Our Education Solicitors are experts in resolving bullying issues at both state and private schools. We seek to engage with head teachers to ensure they deal with the problem as rapidly and effectively as possible. Where appropriate we use the law (including the threat of Judicial Review) to ensure anti-bullying policies are implemented, and that schools comply with their obligations under equalities legislation in circumstances where the bullying is related to race, religion, a disability or another protected characteristic.
