Children Are Allegedly Being Assaulted At A Prmary School In Colwyn Bay With No Action Being Taken!

 
A number of parents whos children attend a religious school in Colwyn Bay are raising major concerns about their child or children being bullied by a damaged child at the school. Some of the children are faking illness and even becoming distressed at the prospect of returning to school showing total fear, and in other cases begging not to return. The children have allegedly been punched, hit, stamped on and tormented. The parents were not informed by the school but approached the school after what the children were telling them, the school admitted that there had been incidents, but stated it was just *rough play! However, the staff at the school have allegedly stated that they are losing control at the school due to some pupils behaviour, yet these pupils are not being removed from the school!  This is a guide for the staff whos actions (or lack of them) seem to be of major concern, even by not informing the parents!  The parents need to ask the school for their bullying policy and any assaults on their child to report it to the police.

The law

Some forms of bullying are illegal and should be reported to the police. These include:

• violence or assault
• theft
• repeated harassment or intimidation, for example name calling, threats and abusive phone calls, emails or text messages
• hate crimes

Call 999 if you or someone else is in immediate danger.

Schools and the law

By law, all state (not private) schools must have a behaviour policy in place that includes measures to prevent all forms of bullying among pupils.

This policy is decided by the school. All teachers, pupils and parents must be told what it is.

Anti-discrimination law

Schools must also follow anti-discrimination law. This means staff must act to prevent discrimination, harassment and victimisation within the school. This applies to all schools in England and Wales, and most schools in Scotland.

Northern Ireland has different anti-discrimination law. 

Reporting bullying

You should report bullying to your school in the first place - or someone you trust if it happens outside school, for example in a club or online.

Tell the police if the bullying involves a crime.

Schools - reporting bullying

School staff will deal with bullying in different ways, depending on how serious the bullying is.

They might deal with it in school, for example by disciplining bullies, or they might report it to the police or social services.

Any discipline must take account of special educational needs or disabilities that the pupils involved may have.

You can complain about a school if you think it hasn’t dealt with your concerns.

Police - reporting bullying

Anyone can make a complaint to the police about bullying but it’s usually a good idea to speak to your school first. From....https://www.gov.uk/bullying-at-school
