Safeguarding: Anti-bullying

Bullying is a reality for students in many schools.  At Sidmouth College we are committed to preventing bullying.  

Bullying may take the form of words, actions, expressions or attitudes. It can involve direct contact between persons or indirect contact, e.g. via text-messaging, email and the internet.

At Sidmouth College we want to encourage openness about bullying.  Students must feel that all staff take bullying seriously and that they will act to stop it.  We encourage students to support each other by informing staff if their friends are bullied.  The Staff and Governors of the College will not tolerate the disruption of a student's education and well-being by the behaviour of another student or students.

The knowledge that bullying of any kind will not be tolerated is conveyed via focused tutorials, house assemblies and whole school assemblies.  It is essential that the bully and the victim understand that further bullying, or any repercussions from staff intervention, will not be tolerated.

What is Bullying?

There are many definitions of bullying, but most consider it to be:

  • deliberately hurtful (including aggression)
  • repeated often over a period of time
  • difficult for victims to defend themselves against
  • consists of incidents victims feel they cannot deal with alone

Bullying can take many forms, but four main types are:

  1. PHYSICAL (hitting, kicking)
  2. VERBAL (name calling, insulting, making offensive remarks)
  3. INDIRECT   (spreading   nasty   stories   about   someone   either   orally,   in   writing   or electronically, exclusion from social groups, being made the subject of malicious rumours, taking belongings etc.)
  4. CYBER BULLYING

What you should do if you experience, or see, bullying at College

Tell someone early and nip it in the bud, prevention is better than cure

Don’t become a bystander – do not tolerate poor behavior towards other students inform an adult immediately – this includes discriminatory and derogatory language to others
  • Tell someone else: support a friend in need
  • Seek advice from the Cyber Mentor Team
  • Speak to an adult in the school 
  • Speak to the Student Development Centre
  • Speak to a parent or guardian
  • Stay away from places where you know trouble can happen
  • If you suffer problems on a school bus where you can't get away, seek help from older students and report it to Student Support. If that doesn't work, speak to your tutor who may decide to alert your Head of Year or a member of Senior Leadership Team to the problem
  • Trust those people who deal with bullying: they will offer immediate support
