Parentline have conducted research into parents views on bullying. It finds that parents still believe not enough is done to help the parent and the child where bullying is an issue, but the response from schools is improving.
Key findings:
- Parents are more aware of how to spot bullying.
- Parents feel responsible and feel that they have let their child down if they do not notice bullying.
- Some parents encourage a "fight back" attitude.
- Links between the school and the parent are needed if bullying and a violent culture is to diminish.
- Families of bullies need an appropriate response also, especially where there is violence within the home.
