In Allanton Primary School and Nursery Class, we acknowledge that bullying can and does occur in school, as it does across society.

North Lanarkshire Council expects its schools to develop and adopt strategies to tackle reports of bullying and for such incidents to be handled outwith the normal School Behaviour Policy.
Bullying is easier to define in terms of its effects rather than by a description of the events which are called bullying.

Incidents of bullying are recognisable by their effects on the victims. Often these changes are not evident in school and it is essential that our partnership with parents/carers assures them that the school will listen to their concerns and act to ensure the safety and well-being of all pupils.
Throughout the school year, children are reminded in class and through Assembly that they must talk to an adult if they feel anxious or are afraid of any individual or group
