Bullying at School
One of the most difficult situations which any parent can face is realising that your child or teenager is being bullied at school. It can be equally difficult if your child is accused of being a bully. Many of you have shared your experience on our discussion boards and we can see how traumatic and difficult such situations can be. So we have created this special focus page on our website bringing together some useful articles on bullying along with suggested reading material . Most schools are pro-active and supportive in dealing with such issues however there may be times when you feel the need to seek help outside of the school so we have provided details of some organisation who may be able to help. We have also created a dedicated discussion board thread to the issue of Bullying so please continue to use this forum to seek advice and support from other parents. |  | Recent Discussion threadsPlayground problem!
