Does anyone else feel all these anti-bullying policies are no more than words on paper?

Sorry for the negative title but had to withdraw my son from his mainstream placement. His been punched, kicked, stuff broken, verbally tomented, had all his friends turned against him and more spanning over a year. I've had countless meetings with the head with other agencies involved and still nothing changes. I have this bully tormenting my son outside our home and my son refuses to go out. He use to go out with friends and to clubs but now doesn't all because of this one child. I've tried everything even involved the police (recently) but just can't seem to get rid of him. 

I'm severely dissapointed with the school but sadly not suprised (I don't mean to label schools its just been a very frustrating time and second experience of this problem). I finally wrote a letter explaining my reasons for withdrawing my son and not even a response (not that I even want one). I just wanted to ask if anyone else feels this way regards these so called anti-bullying policies and if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get rid of this bully once and for all (preferably staying the right side of the law ;-))

Thanks in advance x

  • Harassment is a criminal offence. I'd go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau. They'll be able to advise if you are entitled to free legal advice. (Also, some people have free legal advice as part of their home insurance or Union membership.) A legal advisor will be able to tell you exactly how to gather evidence and what to do next.

    Coogybear, with respect I don't think it would be wise to advise somebody to take photographs of the incidents, especially if children are involved.
