Hi, the easiest way to find the words is to use what's written in your setting's policy and procedures and then write about what's expected of you in these situations xx

CYP 3.3 5.3 Explain how to support a child or young person and/or their family when bullying is suspected or alleged

Qoute from page 127 of the CYPW handbook: When dealing with someone who is being bullied it is important to remember that they will be very upset although they may not show it on the outside. If they have plucked up the courage to talk to you then they need to know you will take their concern seriously.

In case of an older child, it is good idea to ask them to write down exactly what happened and who was there so that you can speak to other people. The more information you have, the better you will be able to deal with the problem and the faster you can sort out exactly what happened.

Reassure the victim that you will be back in touch with them as soon as you have completed your investigation and that if there are any more problems in the meantime they must let you know.

Supporting the family
Parents can find it very hard to know how to help their child if they are being bullied. Some parents will have to cope with news that it is their child who is the bully., You need to know how to support parents in both these cases.

Best practice checklist
Supporting a victim

• talk to them out of earshot of other children
• listen to the child or young person
• believe what they tell you
• reassure them that you will take the complaint seriously
• write down exactly what happened and who was there
• do not promise to keep it a secret
• tell them you will help them by telling someone in authority
• explain how you will investigate the complaint
• be back in touch with them as soon as you have news

Listen to parents: let them explain how they are feeling. Direct them to useful information so that they can start to think how to support their child.
