Things to remember:
💛 Bullying can happen face to face or online, in school or in the community. It may be physical, verbal or emotional.
🧡 It’s only natural that we worry - particularly if we think our child may be more vulnerable to bullying, or we have experienced it ourselves.
💛 As a parent or carer, you have a vital role in helping your child recognise bullying and what you can do together to stop it.
🧡 Have conversations with your child, make sure they understand true friendship and boundaries and know how to react to negative comments and arguments.
💛 Make sure they know other adults who can help - friends, family members, teachers at school.
🧡 You don't have to go through it alone! Swipe ➡️ for resources and organisations that can offer support with mental health and various types of bullying.
