Anti-Bullying
Support If You Think You Are Being Bullied
The word ‘bullying’ is used to describe many different types of behaviour ranging from teasing, deliberately leaving an individual out of a social gathering or ignoring them, to serious assault and abuse. Sometimes it is an individual who is doing the bullying and sometimes there is a group.
At Cliff Park Ormiston Academy, We Do Not Tolerate Bullying Of Any Sort.
