Members of the Anti-bullying Action group:  Miss Whaley, Phil Kennedy, Mrs Reehal and Miss Watson, welcomed parents and carers to their first Anti-bullying workshop this morning.

 

Phil Kennedy, Leader of Play, spoke about Fielding's pupil-centred approach to dealing with bullying and the introduction of Anti-bullying Ambassadors this year, sharing some of the initiatives that they've been working on. Mrs Reehal, our Learning Mentor, spoke about the short-term and long-term  impact of bullying on pupils and how she supports those who have experienced bullying behaviour and Miss Watson shared our school procedures for investigating, dealing with and following up on bullying behaviour when it has been reported. 

 

The session ended by actively involving parents and carers in the process of putting together a one-page guide for parents, 'What to do if your child tells you they've been bullied.' The final version will be shared with parents prior to the end of the Summer term.
