  • Case ref:
    201000187
  • Date:
    September 2011
  • Body:
    Inverclyde Council
  • Sector:
    Local Government
  • Outcome:
    Some upheld, recommendations
  • Subject:
    bullying, secondary school

Summary
Mr C complained that the council had failed to follow their anti-bullying policy in relation to recording and monitoring alleged incidents of bullying involving his son. The investigation found that the council had initially failed to complete the relevant forms as the school had allowed for a settling in period before using the forms. The council did, however, provide evidence that they had recorded all incidents of bullying and had used the appropriate forms as the school term had progressed.

Recommendation
We recommend that Inverclyde Council:
• ensure that their staff act in accordance with their anti-bullying policy in
relation to the use of the appropriate forms for recording and monitoring.
