Welcome

This book aims to empower parents to get the help they need from the school when their child is being bullied. Parents ask, “How can I help my child when bullying occurs? How can I get help from the school? How can I ensure that things will not be made even worse by school staff?”

Parents usually are not familiar with the way schools work. They are bombarded with words and procedures which only schools use. The exclusivity of schools is confidence-shaking, making it difficult for parents to request that action be taken on behalf of their child. Parents are helped through the bewildering process, to facilitate what is always an unpleasant course of action when a child is bullied. The rights of the child and the parent are made clear so that parents can confidently request effective help from their child’s school.
