Procedures for dealing with allegations of child-on-child abuse
If anyone (pupil, parent, member of staff) makes an allegation of a child being abusive to another child, we record it, investigate it and deal with it.
Our process means that:
- all concerns are taken seriously
 - we track whether incidents are considered to be:
- verbal abuse
 - physical abuse
 - emotional abuse
 - sexual abuse/harassment
 - bullying
 - racist
 - homophobic/transphobic
 
 - parents are always involved if the investigation concludes that the incident was categorised as one of the above
 - perpetrators of abusive behaviour, either deliberate or not deliberate, will always face consequences that include being educated about their attitude and/or action
 - tensions between people are monitored
 
Here are the forms we use, so you can see our process:
