Technically, the school does not have jurisdiction over pupils in these circumstances. It
is still important to tell the school about any bullying problem. A problem outside the school can be carried over into school and your child needs to be protected by the school. If a problem arises at lunchtimes, the best advice is to stay in school where the school can support and act. The school will want to help as much as possible in sharing information and giving advice on what to do next, based on experience. Bullying outside school needs the active co-operation of pupils, parents, the school and police along with responsible, caring action by the general public. If bullying is taking place on a
bus provided by the Education Authority, then the school can and will act.
