BULLYING
Information for Adults
Bullying among children isn't always easy to define or to identify. Bullies can be very cunning and expert at getting away with it.
Parents and carers have to be alert to the possibility of bullying and must always take action if they think their own or other children are being bullied. Be alert and take action. Don’t just think it will go away, or that ‘it’s just kids being kids’.
