Off the Record Bullying Report   -  Current Issues and Practices in Bath and North East Somerset

                                        

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The issue of bullying is a phenomenon which crosses geographical boundaries, cultures and time itself.  Children and young people in Bath and North East Somerset identify bullying as one of their highest concerns.  The authority is tackling this at a local level and in order to progress further towards this goal, research has been  commissioned to investigate current policies and practices within schools. 

The findings  of this research can be found in the Off The Record Report -  Bullying in Bath and North East Somerset.  Please click the related documents heading   - Off The Record Report - on the right of this page.

Evaluation of the report was undertaken in partnership with Bath and North East Somerset Children's Fund, the Local Safeguarding Children's Board and Bath and North East Somerset Local Authority.

The aim of the report was to investigate current policy and practice within schools in terms of combating bullying and discrimination.  Several strategies were undertaken to obtain the information required:-

  • A questionnaire circulated to schools to be handed to students age 7 years and above
  • Follow-up questions were also sought in focus-group style sessions with children and young people from Bath and North East Somerset
  • Questionnaires were also given out to teachers who co-ordinated anti-buillying work
