As a pupil you can make a complaint about any matter to do with your school. If you want to make a complaint about the way your school is dealing with bullying, ask a member of staff for a copy of your school’s complaints procedure. It will explain how to make your complaint. The procedure will include the name of someone who can act as a contact point, who can find someone to help you through the complaints process.

If you find it difficult to talk to someone at school or at home you can contact MEIC, a free 24-hour help line for children and young people. You can ask MEIC for advice and support about lots of things, including bullying. MEIC can contact the school for you to talk to your school about bullying. Visit the MEIC website at www.meiccymru.org call them free on 08088 023456.

If bullying is making you feel really upset, you may be able to have counselling to help you deal with those feelings. Counselling is available to children in Year 6and to all young people aged between 11 and 18. You can make an appointment yourself or ask your parents, guardian, carer, professional or a friend to make an appointment for you.
