Checkpoints for parents: towards a non-violent school

Good behaviour for better learning

Checkpoints for parents: towards a non-violent school. Good behaviour for better learning (PDF, 676KB) contains tips to help parents find out how their child's school is tackling bullying and violence.

Checkpoints for parents is the latest in a series of guides written for the NSPCC by George Varnava - former president of the National Association of Headteachers. It will help to answer common questions from parents about bullying and violence, including:

• what can I do if I think my child is being bullied?
• what will the school do if I tell them my child is being bullied?
• how do teachers keep an eye on bullying in the school?
• what does the school do about aggressive or violent pupils?
• does bullying and violent behaviour ever get discussed in assembly?
• how can pupils work out bullying problems themselves?

All schools must have an anti-bullying policy by law, yet bullying remains a serious problem despite efforts by many schools. Every month ChildLine , a service of the NSPCC, counsels more than 3,000 young people about bullying - a quarter (23%) of all calls to the service.
