I need help with this question. Can anyone shed a light on this please.
Outline the policies and procedures that should be followed in response to concerns or evidence of bullying and explain the reasons why they are in place.

Hi, a warm welcome to the site. You'll need to ask your setting/work placement what policies and procedures they have, that guide the way staff members are expected to report things.

Best wishes

I found this very tricky but have put this:-
By law all state schools must have a behaviour policy in place, which should include anti-bullying procedures and policy. All schools take bullying very seriously. Bullying involves the persistent physical, verbal or emotional abuse of another child or children. It is characterised by the intent to hurt or inflict damage to an individual or their property, it is often planned, and the bully usually is aware of the impact of the bullying behaviour has on the victim.

A child who is bullying has usually reached a particular stage of cognitive development where they are able to plan to carry out a premeditated act which will cause distress in the target/ victim.
Bullying can occur in children five years old and over and may well be an issue in any child care setting.
In accordance with the Education and Inspections Act 2006 section 89, the head teacher of the school should have policies in place which promote self discipline and a high regard for authority. It also states that schools should encourage good behaviour and ‘preventing all forms of bullying among pupils’. The Department for Education issued guidance on Preventing and Tackling Bullying in 2014 this should help schools update and formulate effective behaviour policies in schools. This informs schools of their legal duties in producing an affective behaviour policy and preventing bullying with in schools.
Schools have several policies which promote anti-bullying in school these are Behaviour policy, SEN policy, Equality and Diversity and Child Protection/ Safguarding policys.
The aims of anti-bullying and behaviour management policies are to create a safe and secure environment for everyone children and adults alike, and promote positive behaviour and encourage achievement and to teach acceptance, understanding and tolerance of differences in individuals. They also help promote moral values through the schools values, ethos and rules.

not sure if it is right or not?
