The pupils and staff of Sgoil Ùige have recently created a new Anti-Bullying Policy based on the guidance document ‘Respect for All: The National Approach to Anti-Bullying for Scotland’s Children and Young People’, 2024 (linked below). Pupils were consulted and came up with a simple procedure for immediately handling any instances of bullying as detailed below:
The school aims to provide a safe and caring environment for all who enter its doors and in which each child feels valued, confident and secure. A range of issues relating to relationships, tolerance and emotional health are regularly discussed as part of the Health and Wellbeing programme and children are encouraged to discuss any problems, worries or concerns they may have with their teachers and/or other adults in the school as soon as possible.
We would strongly encourage parents to inform the school immediately if they become aware of any incidents of bullying. This will help the school to deal with the situation and agree the best way to support the child inside and outside the school.
The school’s Anti-Bullying Policy is in line with local authority guidance which can be accessed at CNES Anti-Bullying Policy
