Anti-bullying policy template for Northern Ireland schools
A practical structure for reviewing an NI school anti-bullying policy before Anti-Bullying Week or a wider pastoral review.
Template structure
A useful anti-bullying policy should define bullying behaviour, explain reporting routes, describe recording expectations, set out responsibilities, show how pupils and parents are consulted, and explain how the policy is reviewed.
Pupil and parent consultation
Policy review is stronger when pupils can explain whether reporting routes feel realistic and whether adults respond consistently. Parent-facing language should be clear enough for families to understand what happens after a concern is raised.
