“I would have thought that
most young girls in their
younger teens to mid-teens
have probably had a request
for some type of image to be
sent and I think they wouldn't
even consider reporting it
because it's so normal ”
Detective Superintendent John
Macdonald, from the force's Sexual
Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse

ACTUAL EXAMPLE FROM A PRIMARY SCHOOL
Child discloses to teacher that she is upset because of
conversation on Whats App
Teacher finally finds out that child was told on Whats App that
their father has committed suicide after R her mother !
Head Teacher investigates and views Whats App conversation
on child’s phone. Calls the police in.
The Whats App Chat involved a number of year 5 & 6
students and included video clips of hard core pornography.
Head Teacher calls in parents of the children for meeting
Parents shocked by the content but also their children’s
vulnerability and exposure to content so young
Key issue
Adding people to
groups without
their knowledge What next ?
Risk
In small groups of 3 discuss the following:
3) How is it that a child could be added to a What’s App? conversation
4) What do you think will happen to the child who disclosed this incident ?
2) What age should you be to use What’s App?
1) What would you do as a parent ?
How does bullying feel?
GUILT They may feel it is
their fault
EXCLUDED The peer group is
everything! Especially online.
INTIMIDATED Of further repercussions
as bully may have threatened, “if you tell...” ANXIOUS
That their parents and
teachers might blame
them for not standing up for themselves.
UNWORTHY They may think of
themselves as
failures and not
worthy of being helped.
SCARED & AFRAIDOf being physically or
emotionally harmed and
that they might make it worse!
And other feelings too!
What I tell parents about reporting a bullying incident
INVESTIGATE AND GET THE FACTS
REVIEW THE SCHOOL’S POLICY
FACE TO FACE WITH CLASS TEACHER IS USUALLY BEST.
FOLLOW PROCEDURE IF YOU NEED TO ESCALATEHead /governor
MAKE SURE YOU ‘MOVE ON’ AND SUPPORT THE SCHOOL
How did it start ? Do you have evidence (print outs)Make sure your child didn’t start it.Try not to get angry.
By law, all state schools must have a behaviour policy in place that includes measures to prevent all forms of bullying.
Is this your understanding? Can you help monitor the situation? Take notes and agree action.
Continue to reassure your child and make sure that they are not retaliating nor making things worseBe positive if the response
from the school has been good and suggest ways in which the school can help other parents.
Some forms of bullying are illegal (eg hate crime, threats) and should be reported to the police.
It is tempting to try to resolve an issue by talking to the parent of the bully first but this can make things worse !
Follow what the policy says in terms of making a report.
Remember Head teachers have the legal power to make sure pupils behave outside of school premises.
Your child can be an important “Upstander” (ie not a ‘bystander’ for other children).
