As a Rights Respecting School we also recognise that children and young people have the right to their own views, beliefs and freedom of expression and will do all we can to empower pupils to have a major role to play when it comes to tackling bullying in this school.
“Hi, I’m Mrs Hall, it is my job to ensure that we follow safeguarding and OFSTED guidelines on anti-bullying. We have a policy which sets out our aim and how we tackle bullying. If I am tagged in an incident where bullying has taken place I have to then investigate and speak to all pupils involved and parents/Carers and help decide what we can do to help, not just the bullied pupil but the bully themselves. I am here to talk and offer support and advice to every pupil and spread awareness on how to keep safe and how to report it. If you want to talk I am here to listen”

Important information and useful website links:
In today’s society, children, young people and adults interact with technologies, such as smart phones, games consoles, tablets and the internet, on a daily basis and experience a wide range of opportunities, attitudes and situations. The internet is a good resource for young people’s education and development. It makes learning fun, fast and easy and is an essential element in 21st century life for education, business and social interaction. However, although the exchange of information, ideas, social interaction and learning opportunities involved are greatly beneficial to all, they occasionally place children, young people and adults in danger.
With many government departments and organisations releasing new guidance and resources to support you in safeguarding children online and offline during COVID-19, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. At Bishopton we are committed in helping raise awareness for our whole Bishopton commhity. During school hours and PSHE lessons pupils will develop knowledge on how to keep themselves safe and guidance on what they need to do next. Please see below for some help and advice:
