Every school must have measures in place to encourage good behaviour and prevent all forms of bullying. These measures must be communicated to all pupils, school staff and parents/carers. Some schools choose to include this information in their behaviour policy, others choose to have a separate Anti-Bullying Policy. Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council supports the view held by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, that a separate Anti-Bullying policy provides greater clarity about a school’s Anti-Bullying strategy. Therefore, each September, we publish an 'Anti-Bullying Guidance and Policy Template' document - this is available to view, download and use.

The Anti-Bullying Alliance also provide guidance about how to update your current Anti-Bullying policy, this is available here: Anti-Bullying Policies (anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk)
