Comment

Research shows us that bullying is a complex phenomenon in which parents, teachers and the general school environment all play a part. Ken Rigby has a useful model which explains this. This is taken from his book 'Bullying in Schools and What to do About It' which is published by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).

If this model is a fair representation of what happens in a bullying situation it follows that any solution must also involve all members of the school community and include a consideration of issues such as school ethos and policies.
