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
