Guidance for schools on preventing and responding to sexist, sexual and
transphobic bullying - Safe to Learn: Embedding anti-bullying work in schools
Preventing bullying in all its forms and taking swift, effective action to respond to bullying is a responsibility shared by all schools. All bullying is unacceptable, and schools should use the full range of sanctions at their disposal to deal firmly with bullying when it does occur.
Many schools now have robust procedures in place to deal with bullying. However, the prevalence of sexist, sexual and transphobic bullying may be underestimated. This guidance has been developed to help school staff recognise, report and respond to these forms of bullying.
This document forms part of the ‘Safe to Learn’ suite of anti-bullying guidance for schools. It outlines what school leaders and school staff can do to prevent and respond to sexist, sexual and transphobic bullying. The guidance aims to do two things: firstly, build understanding around what sexist, sexual and transphobic bullying is and how it is relevant to schools, and secondly provide schools with the information they need to prevent and tackle this form of bullying. This includes the development of whole school policy and effective practice.
