Learn practical strategies you can use to support children and minimise bullying in your school and classroom. Recognise different types of bullying and helpful ways to respond to students. Despite being encouraged to tell a teacher if they’re being bullied at school, children can be reluctant to report it. Teachers need to understand the risks a child experiences before and after telling an adult that they’ve been bullied.
