Creating a School Action Plan
Resources
If you have a case study or resources for this section that
you would like to share with other local authorities please visit
the case studies page of the toolkit.
Local authorities can take the lead in promoting good
practice, and embedding anti-bullying work in schools and the wider
community.
Each local authority should have an Action Plan
that details anti-bullying work in schools. The School Action Plan
could include:
- Approach to supporting schools in this work
- An understanding of law relating to
schools
- Knowledge of other services that can support
anti-bullying work in schools
- Practical strategies that schools can use to prevent and
respond to bullying
- How schools can measure improvement in their
anti-bullying work
- How anti-bullying work relates to school responsibilities with
regard to equality and human rights
The action plan should include an outline of how anti-bullying
work will be embedded in schools.
This can include:
- The production of anti-bullying guidance and resources –
developing an anti-bullying culture; curriculum guidance;
prevention strategies; responding to bullying incidents
- Staff training
- Anti-Bullying Conferences and Events including the promotion of
Anti-Bullying Week
- Model Anti-Bullying Policies to be
used by schools and other settings
- Anti-Bullying Initiatives and Anti-Bullying Programmes
- Local Anti-Bullying Accreditation Schemes
- Local Anti-Bullying Website
- Local Anti-Bullying Newsletter
