Safeguarding information for children

If you are being hurt, treated in a way that makes you feel scared or unsafe, or you feel very alone or unhappy, please tell someone about it so they can try to help you. Talk to someone you can trust, like your class teacher, Ms Reid or Mrs Hayes. Any member of staff in school will listen to you and support you, and talk through what can be done to help sort things out.

Remember that you can ring ChildLine anytime on 0800 1111

What to do about bullying

If you are being bullied by another child please tell someone. Bullying can happen to anyone at any age, at school, at home, on the bus, in the street, online, or on your mobile phone. It might be that someone pushes you around, talks about you, teases you, makes fun of you, hits you or calls you names. No one has the right to hurt you or make you feel bad, and if you are being bullied you don't have to put up with it, you can talk to someone and get something done about it.  Talk to a teacher, your mum, your dad, or someone else in your family.  You could talk to someone at Childline - ring their freephone number 0800 1111.

Cyber bullying is when people are nasty online or on a mobile phone. It is against the law to bully someone in this way and it can be stopped.
