Schools—bullying
(Question No 283)
Mr Wall asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, upon notice, on 12 May 2017:
(1) Can the Minister provide, for each government school, how instances of reported bullying were recorded by the Education Directorate from (a) students, (b) staff and (c) parents and guardians, for the period December 2014 to present.
(2) Following a report of bullying what steps are procedurally required to be taken.
(3) How many reports of bullying have there been by type/basis (namely on grounds of gender, race, sexual orientation and identity, religion, etc), for the period referred to in part (1).
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Records of bullying by students, parents, and guardians are held by individual schools not collected centrally. Complaints of alleged bullying of staff which are reported to the Directorate’s employee relations section are recorded on an internal data base.
(2) Schools use the Safe and Supportive Schools Policy to guide their response to reports of bullying. Staff are guided by principles of respect, equity and diversity detailed in the Respect, Equity and Diversity Framework to create a positive workplace culture.
(3) The breakdown of data by school cannot be provided due to privacy concerns which may lead to the identification of individuals. The following instances of staff to staff bullying were recorded for the period 1 December 2014 to 31 May 2017:
a. 17 complaints received alleging bullying.
b. 1 complaint received where bullying was substantiated.
c. 4 complaints received, but resolved informally.
