This paper looks at
the role of the School Board in a school's anti-bullying
work. It suggests various ways in which a School Board could
support this work including: discussing bullying at their
meetings, organising workshops for parents on the topic,
finding out about the local authority's policy on bullying,
involving outside agencies such as the police. The paper
also stresses the importance of a wide base of support in
a school's fight against bullying. This includes all members
of the school (teaching and non-teaching staff), the local
authority, family and the wider community, including police,
bus companies and community groups.
