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:
