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

  • Yes I certainly know how you feel on this yet again, I home schooled 3 of my children for 7 years and became a trustee for education otherwise for 2 years  through the bullying my children recieved. I find it absolutely disgusting how they can get away with it , as the ladies have said record everything down and take photos of any bruising to your child. the other thing is the internet ,copy any kind of harrassment or abuse. In my case i took everything to the LEA , the education welfare officers and the head teacher ,MP did his best but even he said that the head teacher was bad. After 7 years my children are still withdrawn with what happened. Oh one thing dont go into any school by yourself to complain always go with another person who can back you up as they seem to turn it all on you that goes for the LEA officers as well. I wish you all the luck in this situation and tell your son its not his fault hes getting bullied
