I have experienced bullying at my school and this is known by several people within the school.
A couple of months ago, someone told me about his problems. I managed to convince him to report the issues and I also passed on the information. However, members of staff told the two of us we must not discuss the issues again.
Not only this, he stuck up for himself and the staff said, as he did this, it is not bullying and so only he was disciplined. Also, they do not believe him and so now he tells no one.
However, various year groups have seen it, so it must be true, and have reported it to teachers, but nothing came of these raised concerns either.
Some people believe that we were told not to discuss these issues so that it can be ignored.
I raised my concerns with several members of staff. They would not take back anything that was said and those that considered action were talked down by the other members of staff.
Do you know if the staff had the right to say he cannot discuss these issues with me? And do you have any advice of any action that I could take?
