Example text
Friendship overrides’. Among younger students, so-called ‘peacekeepers’ were sometimes selected and trained to help with students’ conflicts. Some schools reported that this approach was useful, especially if students were trained and guided to help others to work out ways of resolving conflicts themselves, rather than imposing solutions. That peacekeeping did not always work out well may be illustrated by a comment from one school: ‘The peacekeepers... were turning into little Hitlers, for instance yelling “Get out of there – you know you shouldn’t be there”.
Appropriate action may include an apology, a commitment not to re-offend, and an explanation of the possible consequences of behaviour is repeated. A written statement of this incident will be kept on file in the student’s records. Students who are found guilty a second time will face detentions as well as a suspension warning and further counselling. Students who are found guilty a third time face suspension from school. Not all schools were committed to the use of ‘consequences’. In describing how the staff will respond to bullying, one policy contained the following description: • The teacher will listen carefully to what you have to say.
The victim can normally be induced to join the group for a final meeting, with assurances that there will be no unpleasantness at the meeting. Such a meeting, if well conducted, can demonstrate publicly that the bullying is well and truly over. However, in cases where the victim has behaved provocatively, the interviewer must seek to facilitate adjustments in the behaviour of both sides, that is, play the role of mediator. The aim is to get the students to reach an agreement – ideally in writing and in an agreed form – relating to how each will behave in future.
