New guidance has been launched by the
DCSF today.
Schools will today receive extra help to crackdown on bullying, as a new duty to record and report incidents of bullying is announced by School’s Minister Vernon Coaker.
By ensuring bullying incidents are picked up and resolved earlier, the new duty will help schools tackle bullying more effectively. It also means that head teachers can reassure parents and keep them well informed about everything the school is doing in dealing with bullying incidents.
As a parent I'd rather you stopped diverting resources away from educating my kids into schemes like this.
The new duty, to be consulted on over the next 12 weeks, will mean that schools will have to record and report serious or recurring incidents of bullying to their local authority. This will include incidents of bullying and racism between pupils, and abuse or bullying of school staff. The government is clear that schools must take seriously any complaints made by their staff of abuse or bullying by pupils.
What the fuck? Pupils 'bullying' the staff?

I bet that'll include 'cyberbullying', AKA 'puting up a Facebook group we don't agree with'...
Another exercise in consulting after the decision has aleady been made.
One result among many will be that schools with not much of a race issue will be forced to big-up imaginary racist bullying so as not to be accused of being'in denial'.
It already happens.
