‘Bullying takes place in the context of relationships. It is behaviour that can make people feel hurt, threatened, frightened and left out and it can happen face to face and online’

At Marr College we are currently revising our anti-bullying guidelines in partnership with our Mental Health Ambassadors.  A Student Conference was held in December to gather the views of a wide range of students that will help shape our guidelines and approaches to support young people. Some of the feedback included:

• More focus on cyber-bullying
• More ways to tell teachers e.g. texting or an app
• Bully buddies
• Making it clear that actions result in consequences
• How to get help in different situations

At present, we are using the South Ayrshire Anti-bullying Guidelines and will be launching our revised guidelines this school session.  Please click on the Respect Me https://respectme.org.uk/ website for further information and advice.
